Data structure
The SDW is a fully metadata driven application based on the SDMX data model. SDW's data structure and dataset concept gives an overview of such metadata. The list of datasets describes the SDW data content and the SDW functions show how the users can access them. More information can be accessed through the site directory and glossary.
Information display
SDW offers different views to the data tables, data charts and displays their associated Metadata page by using the top of the page toolbar. Pre-defined Reports are also accessible with the underlying data from the side navigation hierarchy. Access the quick view and quick chart for different series keys and apply various transformations to the data.
Data discovery
There are many ways to browse for data in SDW. One can access pre-defined navigation hierarchies or search using text or series keys and filter/refine its data selection.
