2. Year 2000 – free of charge statistical data scattered here and there
In different products
In an index structure sorted according to the organisation structure
Finding data required advance knowledge of whether such data exist at all, which product they belong to and which Department/Unit produced them
No search engine

3. Year 2004 – free of charge statistical data scattered
In the stat.fi service in a structure sorted by topic and statistics
In the StatFin database without a clear link to the stat.fi service
Finding data required advance knowledge of the topic they belonged to and the platform from which they could be obtained
Search engine lists results only from the stat.fi service

5. Concilience
The word consilience was apparently coined by William Whewell, in The Philosophy of the Inductive Sciences, In this synthesis Whewell explained that, “The Consilience of Inductions takes place when an Induction, obtained from one class of facts, coincides with an Induction obtained from another different class. Thus Consilience is a test of the truth of the Theory in which it occurs.“ (
