ISO 17369:2013提供了一种促进统计数据和元数据交换（SDMX）的综合方法，使统计数据和相关元数据的交换、报告和传播相关系统内部和系统之间实现互操作。 ISO 17369:2013适用于需要管理统计数据和相关元数据的报告、交换和传播的任何组织。ISO 17369:2013的核心信息模型是为了支持政府和超国家统计组织收集和使用的统计数据而开发的，该模型也适用于涉及统计数据和相关元数据的其他组织环境。

ISO 17369:2013 provides an integrated approach to facilitating Statistical Data and Metadata Exchange (SDMX), enabling interoperable implementations within and between systems concerned with the exchange, reporting and dissemination of statistical data and related metadata. ISO 17369:2013 is applicable to any organization that has a need to manage the reporting, exchange and dissemination of its statistical data and related metadata. The information model at the core of ISO 17369:2013 has been developed to support statistics as collected and used by governmental and supra-national statistical organizations, and this model is also applicable to other organizational contexts involving statistical data and related metadata.
