2011 / 2001 data comparisons - follow up


In earlier posts we talked about 2011 / 2001 data comparisons and metadata to support comparisons.

Both posts considered user responses to questions from the questionnaire that asked about previous use of comparisons by users, and their expectations or needs for making and using comparisons between 2011 and 2001 Census data in the future.

The first post also included a quick and simple online questionnaire (with 3 checkbox and write in response sections) that asks users for a little extra or specific informed opinion.

So far we have received a number of user responses to the extra questions, but need more in order to gather significant data to form a representative opinion base.

Work towards the development of systems to allow users to access and make the most effective use of inter-censal comparisons will be progressing in the next few months. So, it is essential that we begin with as much user input and feedback as possible so that we can work towards designing a system that best serves user needs.

The questions are short and quick to complete, so we encourage you to spend a couple of minutes to join in and let us know your views.

The second post talked about a possible guide to inter-censal comparisons. This is an area we will return to soon in future posts where we discuss 2011 metadata requirements and plans, and how this might fit in to that overall package.
