# SDMX: DCI Member example

### DCI Member Statistics Data Structure Definition (DSD)

#### Data Structure

**ID:** `DCI_MEMBER_STATISTICS`

**Name:** DCI Member Aggregated Statistics

**Description:**

This Data Structure Definition defines aggregated statistics generated from the DCI Core **Member** data object. It enables interoperable exchange of social protection statistics using SDMX. Individual Member and Person records are not exchanged through this dataset; instead, observations represent aggregated counts derived from Member attributes and the embedded Person entity.

{% hint style="info" %}
This is an illustrative example. Countries should adapt and extend it based on their early warning and social protection systems, the analyses they intend to perform, and the indicators they need to monitor.

Where a required dimension already exists in the DCI core models, we recommend reusing it to maximize interoperability. Additional dimensions, including post-intervention outcome indicators (e.g., coverage rate, payment timing, poverty status change, or recovery rate), are not defined in this example and should be introduced through country-level extensions or implementation-specific data structure definitions (DSDs), as appropriate.
{% endhint %}

#### Dimensions

Dimensions define the statistical classification of observations. The combination of dimensions forms the series key.

| Component | ID                  | Description                                  | Representation                    |
| --------- | ------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| Dimension | `REF_AREA`          | Geographic area where members are registered | DCI Administrative Area Code List |
| Dimension | `SEX`               | Sex of the person associated with the member | CL\_SEX                           |
| Dimension | `DISABILITY_STATUS` | Whether the person has a disability          | CL\_DISABILITY\_STATUS            |
| Dimension | `AGE_GROUP`         | Age category derived from Person.birthDate   | CL\_AGE\_GROUP                    |
| Dimension | `TIME_PERIOD`       | Reference period of the observation          | ISO 8601                          |

### Code Lists

#### REF\_AREA

Source:

`Member.demographic_info.address.region_code`

Example:

| Code    | Name       |
| ------- | ---------- |
| AREA001 | District A |
| AREA002 | District B |
| AREA003 | District C |

#### SEX

Source:

`Member.demographic_info.sex`

Code List:

`CL_SEX`

| Code | Name    |
| ---- | ------- |
| F    | Female  |
| M    | Male    |
| U    | Unknown |

#### DISABILITY\_STATUS

Source:

`Member.demographic_info.self_id_disability`

Code List:

`CL_DISABILITY_STATUS`

| Code  | Name                      |
| ----- | ------------------------- |
| TRUE  | Person with disability    |
| FALSE | Person without disability |
| NA    | Not available             |

#### AGE\_GROUP

Derived from:

`Member.demographic_info.birth_date`

Code List:

`CL_AGE_GROUP`

| Code   | Description        |
| ------ | ------------------ |
| LT5    | Less than 5 years  |
| Y5T17  | 5 to 17 years      |
| Y18T64 | 18 to 64 years     |
| GE65   | 65 years and above |
| ALL    | All ages           |

#### Measures

| ID             | Description       |
| -------------- | ----------------- |
| `OBS_VALUE`    | Number of Members |
| `UNIT_MEASURE` | Persons           |

The observation value represents the aggregated count of Member records matching the selected dimensions.

#### Attributes

| Attribute         | Description                                        |
| ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| `OBS_STATUS`      | Observation status (estimated, provisional, final) |
| `SOURCE`          | Data provider                                      |
| `CONFIDENTIALITY` | Confidentiality classification                     |

### Series Key

The series key is created from the ordered dimensions:

```
REF_AREA.SEX.DISABILITY_STATUS.AGE_GROUP
```

Example:

```
AREA001.F.TRUE.ALL
```

means:

| Dimension          | Value      |
| ------------------ | ---------- |
| REF\_AREA          | AREA001    |
| SEX                | Female     |
| DISABILITY\_STATUS | Disability |
| AGE\_GROUP         | All ages   |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://standards.spdci.org/standards/dci-standards/early-warning-systems/wip-early-warning-systems-and-sp-system-interface/9.-ews/data/data-object/sdmx-dci-member-example.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
