Excel mapping tool for 2019 avian influenza data reporting

Data collection is an important task of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and a fundamental component of risk assessment (Articles 22 and 23 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002). EFSA receives a large volume of data from Member States (MSs) that is used in support of its risk assessment mission. Council Directive 2005/94/EC and Commission Decision 2010/367/EU lay down the guidelines for monitoring and reporting avian influenza surveillance data on poultry and wild birds by European Union (EU) MSs. EFSA has been assigned the task of collating, validating, analysing, and summarising in an annual report the results from the avian influenza surveillance programmes in poultry and wild birds. For the reporting of data, EFSA provides a Data Collection Framework that allows data providers to submit data in eXtensible Markup Language (XML) format through a web interface or a web service. Here, a data model describing the format, and the content requested when submitting data through the DCF, is provided. The data model supports the reporting of laboratory testing results for avian influenza in both wild birds, and poultry. The use of this reporting standard ensures that reported results are comparable between reporting countries. Data reported in this format will be used to generate epidemiological updates on the avian influenza surveillance testing carry out in Europe, and to provide scientific advice to the European Commission.欧洲食品安全局（European Food Safety Authority，EFSA）的数据收集工作是其核心任务之一，同时也是风险评估的基础组成部分（对应《(EC)第178/2002号法规》第22条与第23条）。欧洲食品安全局会从各成员国（Member States，MSs）获取海量数据，用于支撑其风险评估工作使命。 《欧盟理事会2005/94/EC号指令》与《欧盟委员会2010/367/EU号决议》确立了欧盟（European Union，EU）各成员国针对家禽与野生鸟类的禽流感监测数据开展监测与报告的规范指南。欧洲食品安全局被赋予如下职责：整理、验证、分析欧盟各成员国家禽与野生鸟类禽流感监测项目的成果，并将相关结果汇总至年度报告中发布。 在数据报告环节，欧洲食品安全局搭建了数据收集框架（Data Collection Framework，DCF），数据提供方可通过网页界面或网络服务以可扩展标记语言（eXtensible Markup Language，XML）格式提交数据。本文档提供了一套数据模型，用于说明通过该数据收集框架提交数据时所需遵循的格式与内容要求。 该数据模型可用于上报野生鸟类与家禽的禽流感实验室检测结果。 采用此报告标准可确保各报告国提交的检测结果具备横向可比性。 按照此格式上报的数据将用于生成欧洲范围内禽流感监测检测工作的流行病学动态更新报告，并为欧盟委员会提供科学咨询依据。
