DIGICOM

ESS Workshop on  dissemination of official statistics as open data , 18-19 January 2017 (Malta)

The main aim of this action is to ensure support, testing, maintenance and development of SDC software of interest to the NSIs in the ESS.

The ESS Visualisation Workshop was organised on 17 and 18 May 2016 in Valencia, Spain.

The overall objective of the GEOSTAT 2 project is to foster a better integration of statistics and geospatial information in order for the statistical community to provide more qualified descriptions and analyses of society and environment.
The specific objectives are:

This project is the first specific grant agreement under the framework partnership agreement on statistical disclosure control.

The GEOSTAT action is about developing guidelines for datasets and methods to link census 2010/2011 statistics to a common harmonised grid, building on the network and work made by partners in the European Forum for GeoStatistics.

The GEOSTAT 1B project lasted from 01.01.2012 until 31.12.2013.

Main objectives: This project was focused  on the promotion of the results achieved so far rather than the development of new technologies. A key aim of the project was to make SDC tools more easily applicable and to assist NSIs by raising the level of knowledge and skills to a higher level.

Main objectives:  to investigate the current situation in Europe with respect to the application of SDC -methods. We plan to conduct a short survey and study the situation in a few selected countries in more depth.

The main purpose of this ESSNet will be to pave the way for future cooperation in Europe. Therefore the main outcome of this project will be case studies investigating new directions to be realised by future projects and an architecture for making the ARGUS software more open, allowing to enlarge the team of developers.

Objectives: Develop a set of methods, tools and guidelines to create harmonised data sets, such as on handling confidentiality issues of population statistics and disaggregation processes.
