Abstract

The automation of the process to produce the Canadian Consumer Price Index is an example of the successful application of a relational database model to a statistical information system. This paper, highlights the design objectives and how they were achieved and describes the conceptual schema for the Consumer Price Index, the internal schema for the application system, the process by which the internal schema was derived and the resulting application system.
