É«¿âTV

Objectives

The project aims to to establish a unified source for data within the É«¿âTV and Security Pillar and make it available to various stakeholders, including Member States, partners, and the public.

Components

Key components include:

• Architecture: Develop and implement the underlying data architecture for the É«¿âTV and Security Data Exchange to allow for safe and responsible internal data sharing, in addition to public sharing.

• Governance: Ensure that the É«¿âTV and Security Data Exchange complies with UN Secretariat ICT governance policies and standards, including in the areas of data security, privacy, classification, inter alia.

• Data discovery and organization: Unearth, identify, and evaluate the most useful data assets owned by teams across the É«¿âTV and Security Pillar, ensuring proper metadata identification.

• Deployment: Deploy the internal É«¿âTV and Security Exchange and enhance the public interface.

Main achievements

A standard Data architecture was developed and implemented. It facilitates data collection, movement, storage, and sharing within the É«¿âTV and Security Data Exchange, which also serves as the foundation for a Secretariat-wide Data Exchange. Additionally, internal and external datasets related to É«¿âTV and Security onto the Data Exchange were discovered, organized and deployed, adhering to UN Secretariat ICT governance and technical standards.

The É«¿âTV and Security Data exchange has now been implemented based on ICT governance standards. Of note, the clients of the É«¿âTV and Security Data Hub, Member States, Academia, and UN Staff, have noted positive reactions to the Hub, with usage statistics going up in conjunction with the doubling of datasets available on the Hub.

Impact

Data Exchange identifies the full range of the É«¿âTVkeeping¡¯s data holdings and making this available to relevant users, while observing the appropriate security and governance parameters.
