Objective TELER will test a common European model and standards for simplifying data exchange between national statistical institutes and firms. By this means, many different statistical enquiries may be merged into supersurveys, irrespective of accounting practices or the size of firms or industrial sectors. Business accounting or invoicing records built into a national or international classification system, and transmitted along common lines will also result in cheaper data gathering. Project data models, classifications, and software will be standardised for eventual Europe-wide implementation and marketing.TELER aims at demonstrating the feasibility of a common model and related standards for the exchange of data between enterprises and data collectors, especially National Statistical Institutes (NSIs). Both firms and NSIs will benefit from the implementation of this approach as it offers: a/ simplification, e.g. by merging several statistical surveys into one electronic superquestionnaire b/ common standards, by adopting one model, whatever the size of firm, sector of industry, country, accounting practices, etc. c/ gains of work load, as the technologies used will (i) allow to tap electronic data provided by the accounting packages or invoices systems used by the firm (which saves data keying in), (ii) help transcode these data into (inter)national classifications, (iii) provide transmission facilities to send the data with the appropriate structure. The demonstrator is based on (i) a repository or model of data necessary for the data collectors, called BISE; (ii) software modules with facilities of format translation, BISE management, communication, etc. called SISE. BISE is based on data models and standard classifications which will be designed in the project and which will be valid for all countries and all type of enterprise. SISE will be based, as much as possible, on de facto standard software. It will thus be possible to propose standards and software prototypes which operators and data collectors will be able to implement and market in Europe.
