Blog


Welcome to our blog - a place to read and voice opinions about the plans for output from the 2011 Census. Here we will regularly raise topics to prompt comments and start conversation. These will cover issues such as Access, Dissemination, Metadata, and User Support.

Many issues will be prompted by the results on the online user survey which was run in the fist half of 2008. We will publish the full survey results on the website soon, and follow these up with themed discusiion topics.

We hope you will join in and contribute your thoughts about the topics discussed by adding replies and comments to each post. We also hope you will take the oipportunity to engage with other users in more detailed discussions using the forum.

Online output questionnaire results X: 'Joined-up' access

by ONS_BrendanONS_Brendan on 1236956481|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

In the previous post 'Accessing Census data' we talked about the range of different options available for users to access Census data.

Online output questionnaire results VIII: Statistical Disclosure Control (SDC)

by ONS_BrendanONS_Brendan on 1235745264|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Although SDC does not appear in the top 5 user output priorities, it is an important area of concern for many users. Some specific areas of interest are how SDC will be implemented for 2011, the scope and depth of the effect that this might have on the data, and any resulting considerations for the use and interpretation of the data.
