An innovative way to provide easy access to UN System data CCSA Conference on Data Quality for International Organizations Stefan Schweinfest and Mary Jane Holupka, United Nations Statistics Division

UNdata and Quality (2)  Introduction  UNdata and accessibility  Searching  Data presentation  Customization possibilities for users  Metadata  Addressing other quality dimensions: relevance, accuracy, comparability, timeliness  Challenges ahead

UNdata – Introduction (3)  60+ years of data collection  Data stored in numerous databases: different web interfaces; different access and dissemination policies  Driving force for UNdata’s development – reduce fragmentation;  “Statistics as a Public Good” Project – with Statistics Sweden, Gapminder Foundation, financial support from the Swedish Intl Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA)  Provide easier access, increase dissemination, use and understanding of int’l stats, free of charge

UNdata – Accessibility (4)  available free of charge, no need to subscribe or register;  one interface from which all underlying datasets can be searched and browsed;  easily searchable by either using the search box or clicking on a particular dataset name and browsing its contents;  requires few clicks to get where one wants to go;  presents data clearly, in simple tabular presentation formats, which can then be customized and further refined by sorting, filtering, including/excluding columns and pivoting;  provides various download formats (xml or value separated for data received in relational database format, or excel tables if the original data were provided in that format); Understandability/clarity  links to or provides relevant accompanying metadata.
