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. Some online comment....by The 2011 Census white paper was presented to Parliament in December 2008. Both the white paper and this output consultation website were recently mentioned at Puffbox - a blog about e-government, online news and politics. Comments (0) Output geographyby Output from the 2001 Census was, for the first time, based on a separate output geography independent from the geography used for data collection. Comments (0) Metadata and the Data Documentation Initiative (DDI)by Just a pointer to a thread started in the forum about the potential to use the Data Documentation Initiative (DDI) as a metadata solution, and some quick links to some areas of the wiki and glossary which can be used to further develop some background and thoughts about these principles. Comments (0) Online output questionnaire results IV: 2011 / 2001 data comparisonsby The online output questionnaire included three questions about comparing 2011 with 2001 Census data. Comments (4) Online output questionnaire results III: Adding valueby The core output from the 2001 Census was based around a range of product families containing standard predefined data sets. These were supplemented by a number of complementary releases to either support their use, add value to high volume datasets, or provide slices of user friendly data for a wider audience and with limited commentary. Comments (1) Online output questionnaire results II: 2001 Metadataby Some early informal feedback from users about output from the 2001 Census mentioned some of the positives and negatives about the way metadata was handled.
