Report on harmonised data models measures in self-reporting and in emerging technologies

Task 5.2 (MS15) aims to harmonise the data that is to be generated by harmonised measures. This is a prerequisite to facilitate the FAIR use of data within the community. The harmonisation of measures in WP4 and WP6 form the basis for the development of the harmonised data models. An practical agreement will be made on tools and modelling language to document the data models. Data models include (1) structure of a data set belonging to a certain harmonised measure (entities, attributes, units, relations between entities and attributes) and (2) meta data of a data set (used harmonised measure, party that generated the data, date of generation, country of generation). This task will be executed in a iterative way in cooperation and discussion with the partners in Task 5.3 and WP4 and WP6. The time and effort needed for harmonisation in WP4 and WP6 will be specific for each measure at hand. So some measures will be harmonised early in the project (e.g. socio demographical measures are expected to be already close to harmonisation) and others will be harmonised at later point in time.
