Data processing and data base management
Importance: both Customs and at NSO.
Basic concepts:
•Statistical data processing and statistical information systems
IMTS compilation involves collecting, processing, storing, retrieving,
analysing and disseminating statistical data. These processes are
structured according to particular institutional arrangements and are
mostly carried out with the help of information systems infrastructure
(including database management systems).
•Database management systems
The basic functions of a statistical database management system are to
create, retrieve, update, and delete specified data (often referred to by
the CRUD acronym) during the various stages of the statistical data
processing cycle. These operations are performed by the database
management system on data stored in a database according to a
particular data model.
