Located in the Kalitaman Room, 2nd floor building, Salatiga City Regional Secretary's Office, on Tuesday, May 14 2024, a Development activity for the Preparation of Metadata and Sectoral Statistical Data Standards was held. This activity is a collaboration between the Salatiga City Diskominfo and the Salatiga City BPS as supervisor of sectoral statistics. This activity was attended by all OPDs, vertical agencies and universities in Salatiga City.
The event was opened by the Head of the Salatiga City Diskominfo, Budi Prasetiyono, who conveyed the sectoral statistics that must be supported and is a joint work between data guardians, data supervisors and sectoral statistical data producers. Data produced by regional apparatus/vertical agencies/universities as data producers must comply with data standards so that the data is valid and of good quality. Data standards have many benefits, namely increasing data integrity, improving communication flows between data producers, data guardians and data developers, and minimizing the existence of multi-standards in data.
In this event, there was also an introduction to the new head of BPS Salatiga City, namely Aguskadaryanto, who has served at BPS Salatiga City since May 2 2024. In his speech, Aguskadaryanto conveyed that the principle of one data starting from data standards, metadata, data interoperability and reference codes must be implemented as direction from Satu Data Indonesia in accordance with Presidential Decree no. 39 of 2019. BPS as the supervisor of statistical data collaborated with the regional government to organize One Data Salatiga which later became One Data Indonesia.
Material related to data standards was delivered by a resource person from BPS Salatiga City, namely Dani Dwi Widagdo, who conveyed several things, including that data standards are concepts, definitions, classifications and units that must be explained by everyone. For data standards, refer to BPS regulation no. 10 of 2023 concerning statistical data standards as a replacement for BPS regulation no. 4 of 2021. The existence of data standards will make it easier to provide data, for example in measuring body weight the standard unit of measurement of data used is cm. Another thing that was conveyed was that coordination is needed to equalize data standards, in this case coordination is needed between the secretariat, data supervisors, data guardians and data producers. Data standards have the benefit of making it easier to share data.
In accordance with Perwali No. 1 of 2016 concerning Reference Codes, states that there is numbering per region, so data tabulations with regional data must already use a reference code. Data standards can be checked offline through Head of BPS Regulation No. 850 of 2023 concerning National Statistical Data Standards, while online via the INDAH website - Indonesia Data Hub - www.indah.bps.go.id. This data standard is used across agencies, for internal agencies you can refer to the data standards of each agency. If no data standard is found, the agency can propose using a form which is then proposed to Diskominfo as the data guardian which will then be reviewed by BPS as the data supervisor.
