SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Atlas users need a reliable, repeatable way to connect external statistical data sources to Atlas and register them in the data pipeline, ensuring governance and traceability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Classify the data source type (PxWeb/SDMX/REST) and generate the appropriate registry entries.
  • Create configuration entries and optional batch dispatch via /subagent-tasks for multiple sources.
  • Validate connectivity with a canary query and update the verification status based on the results.

Quick Start

Provide the new data source details to Atlas and let it classify the source, generate registry entries, and set up a canary query for verification.

FAQPage Schema
How do I connect external statistical data sources to Atlas?

To connect statistical data sources to Atlas, you provide the source details so the system can classify the API type, generate registry entries, and run a canary query to validate connectivity before final verification.

Can I register multiple PxWeb or SDMX sources at once?

Yes, you can batch add multiple PxWeb, SDMX, or REST sources by dispatching tasks via the /subagent-tasks endpoint, which generates the appropriate configuration entries for each source simultaneously.

What types of statistical APIs are supported for Atlas data source registration?

Atlas data source registration supports PxWeb, SDMX, and REST APIs, classifying each source type to generate the appropriate registry entries and corresponding configuration updates.

How does Atlas verify that a newly connected data source is working?

Atlas verifies a newly connected data source by executing a canary query after generating registry entries, then updating the verification status based on the query results before final approval.

Do I need to update the official stats registry when connecting a new data source?

Yes, connecting a new data source requires updates to the official stats registry and relevant SDMX or PxWeb configuration files to ensure the new source is fully integrated and traceable in the pipeline.
