The FMR Workbench is a remote registry browser and metadata maintenance tool which brings the strengths and capabilities of the FMR User Interface to any SDMX compliant registry, implementing an SDMX RESTful API. One significant use case for FMR Workbench users is the ability to connect to .Stat-Suite spaces for browsing and maintaining .Stat-Suite structural metadata.
The FMR Workbench User Interface browses and displays the SDMX structures of the Environment it is connected to. An Environment is a connection to a collection of related SDMX web services for a single SDMX service offering. Related web services include the web service entry point to retrieve the structures, the entry point to save structures, and the entry point to delete structures. The UI of the FMR Workbench enables the user to switch their connection to an alternative Environment; the list of available Environments is defined in the configuration file for the FMR Workbench. The connected Environment is associated with the current user; this enables multiple users of the FMR Workbench to be connected to different Environments simultaneously. The Fusion Metadata Registry (FMR) Web User Interface was adopted and reused for the FMR Workbench UI as it is recognized as having many strengths, including:
