Load example datasets

Overview

Fusion Registry is a 'virtual statistical data warehouse' meaning that the data it contains can either be loaded and held in storage managed by Fusion Registry, or retrived dynamically from external sources like SQL databases, SDMX REST web services and files.

In this example, we are going to load some data from the ECB's EXR Exchange Rate dataset into Fusion Registry. We first need to prepare the Dataflow to receive data:

• Create an SDMX Data Provider - this is the 'organisation' under which the data will be submitted under the SDMX Data Collection model
• Create an SDMX Provision Agreement - this is the SDMX structure which authorises the Data Provider to submit data to the Dataflow, and also defines where that data is stored
