The Inventory Model
• In the traditional inventory model, roughly half of the support goes to putting items on the shelf, while the other half goes to finding and getting the items off the shelf.

DLI Workshop -- Mar 2000
15
The Access Model
• With the access model, support is split between getting information into a deliverable state and finding appropriate ways of retrieving and disseminating the information.

Access/Dissemination Issues
•managing vendor licenses are the license conditions realistic?
what type of identification or authentication is required?

•matching products with technology is the product dependent on a specific operating system?
is the product software dependent?

Access/Dissemination Issues
•determining dissemination options what are the output formats? does the output require special storage considerations?

Data Types
In the 1997 DLI workshop time was spent discussing differences between aggregate data and microdata.
Each type has an impact on data access models.
DLI Workshop -- Mar 2000
23
Aggregate Data
Aggregate data consist of statistical summaries derived from original data collections and organized in tables according to the following properties:
•socio-economic phenomena•spatial representation•time
DLI Workshop -- Mar 2000
24
Aggregate Data
Statistical summaries
•these summaries take the form of counts, totals, sums, averages or percentages

28
Aggregate Data
Aggregate data products•usually stored as a series of related tables in some type of database structure requiring special retrieval software (examples from STC include C86, C91, CBP, CANSIM, etc.)
DLI Workshop -- Mar 2000
29
Microdata
Microdata are•usually anonymised records of actual respondents from a survey
•unsummarized, i.e, observations in the form in which the data were collected
•in a raw format requiring some form of processing, typically a flat ASCII file

Impact on Data Access
Aggregate data have been processed and organized in a database structure
•must locate the table with desired data
•must deal with each database structure
•must deal with accompanying retrieval software
DLI Workshop -- Mar 2000
33
Impact on Data Access
Microdata data must be processed or subset for subsequent processing•must identify desired variables and cases (data documentation)
•must deal with the raw data file structure
•must address the issue of desired formats
DLI Workshop -- Mar 2000
34
Impact on Data Access
•These and others differences between aggregate data and microdata will be part of our discussions about data access, also.

Statistics versus Data
The term statistics is commonly used to describe the numeric summaries, such as counts, totals, sums and averages, that people use to make a point in a study or report.
DLI Workshop -- Mar 2000
37
Statistics versus Data
The term data refers to numeric files containing a collection of raw information with many observations that can be analyzed from a variety of perspectives.
DLI Workshop -- Mar 2000
38
Statistics versus Data
Typically, generalizations are drawn from analyses of a data file.
The information provided by all of the individuals in a survey is considered to be data, while the percent of respondents in a survey with a university degree is a statistic.
DLI Workshop -- Mar 2000
39
Blurring Statistics and Data
In the print world, statistical information is usually found in statistical abstracts, census monographs and serial publications by government agencies.
DLI Workshop -- Mar 2000
40
Blurring Statistics and Data
In the digital world this numeric information is now appearing with electronic table access on CD-ROM, the Internet, or in electronic journals.
Many aggregate data products now fall in this category.
DLI Workshop -- Mar 2000
41
Blurring Statistics and Data
In other instances, the responses in the microdata file of a survey may provide the answer to a statistical question.
•For example, the percentage of the population in Canada with high blood pressure may be determined from the National Population Health Survey.
DLI Workshop -- Mar 2000
42
Impact on Data Access
•The use of aggregate data products and microdata files to answer statistical questions will also contribute to our discussions about data access.
DLI Workshop -- Mar 2000
43
DLI Workshop -- Mar 2000
44
Context for Aggregate Data
•The motivation to simplify access to aggregate data products exists because of their utility in answering general statistics questions.
•The demand for facts and figures at the reference desk steadily increases.
DLI Workshop -- Mar 2000
45
Aggregate Data Challenges
•The challenges of creating access to aggregate data were summarized earlier. how to find the table with the desired
statistics how to deal with each database
structure how to cope with the retrieval software
DLI Workshop -- Mar 2000
46
DLI Aggregate Data Sources
•Four major DLI aggregate data sources have been chosen for this workshop.
DLI Workshop -- Mar 2000
47

•CANSIM is a major source for economic data and social data reported over time.
DLI Workshop -- Mar 2000
48
DLI Aggregate Data Sources
•E-STAT is a popular resource for simple access to selected CANSIM series and some aggregate data sources viewed useful in teaching.
DLI Workshop -- Mar 2000
49
DLI Aggregate Data Sources
•The 1996 Census aggregate data products are a valuable collection of electronic tables.
DLI Workshop -- Mar 2000
