In order to facilitate the adoption and integration of this Web Service, it was developed in both Java and .NET platforms, this document referring to the latter. In this way an NSI dissemination environment will be able to support modern data transmission schemes that will facilitate potential Data Consumers have access to it (e.g. Eurostat using the SODI pull transmissions). The ultimate goal of this attempt is to enable NSIs adopt the SDMX Reference Infrastructure, thus increasing the interoperability and visibility of their dissemination environment and thereby reducing the burden for distributing data to potential Data Consu
