A Software Suite and Extended Mark-up Language (XML) Standard for Intelligent Questionnaires

Ziel

The business objective of IQML is to provide a solution for the collection of timely statistics to support regional, national, and Community policy making, and to support the development of marketing strategies by private enterprise, whilst at the same time reducing the reporting burden on enterprises. The technical objective is to understand how to develop an intelligent questionnaire that can interrogate company database metadata and questionnaire metadata in order to extract automatically the required data. Metadata models and interchange standards are being developed now at the international level by the software industry (principally by database vendors). The project will achieve the technical objective by influencing the development of the standards so that they support the intelligent questionnaire, and will achieve the business objective by implementing the standards in software products which will be tried and marketed.

Objectives:
To support the EU in its quest for more accurate and timely information whilst reducing the burden on enterprises that supply this information, by using current and emerging information technologies to implement a solution for intelligent questionnaires. To ensure the metadata interchange and database access standards being elaborated at the international level by software vendors takes into account the needs of the intelligent questionnaire, by participating to the standards process and by developing products, and re-engineering existing products, that use these standards in live data collection scenarios. To deliver benefits to both large and small organisations in many different domains by building a range of solutions based on this technology. To commercially exploit the products, in several domains at both the European and international level, by marketing them from an early stage in the project.

Work description:
The project will concentrate on the collection of key economic data from financial institutions to support the calculation of Balance of Payments (BOP), and the collection of administration data from municipalities. The two key emerging technologies that will be used are XML (Extensible Markup Language) and CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture). Standards for both these technologies are being elaborated in the public domain at the international level. The work items will support the full cycle of data collection: questionnaire design, dissemination, integration with enterprise databases so that data can be extracted automatically, integration with web technologies so that data can be entered manually and validated, integration with and automatic loading of the collectors database from returned questionnaires. The project will influence the standards being made by the Object Management Group (OMG) for metadata interchange and object access, by participating actively to the OMG standards process. Full support for the data collection cycle will be made available in products that will either be developed or re-engineered (to support the emerging standards) from existing products already using object and XML technology. The project will support the enterprises from which the data are collected, and manage the trials. The products will be at the leading edge of technology and will deliver business benefits in wide variety of domains, and an important work item is to disseminate results and to put into place the groundwork necessary in order to exploit the products commercially.

Milestones:
Data collection trials using XML based on OML agreed standards will start in month 6 with web based XML forms, and from month 12 for automated extraction and input to databases. This will prove that the technology works and gives benefits. In year 3 a pilot of a self-configuring intelligent questionnaire will be demonstrated, using both questionnaire and database metadata.
