SDMX : Statistical Data and Metadata Exchange
http://www.sdmx.org/General/AboutSDMX.htm
"The BIS, ECB, EUROSTAT, IMF, OECD, and the UN have joined together
to focus on business practices in the field of statistical information
that would allow more efficient processes for exchange and sharing
of data and metadata within the current scope of our collective activities.
The goal is to explore common e-standards and ongoing standardization
activities that could allow us to gain efficiency and avoid duplication
of effort in our own work and possibly for the work of others in the
field of statistical information...."
