The OECD Statistics Dissemination Project

Bookmark this page: www.oecd.org/publishing/statsdisseminationproject

We want to make our statistics easier to find, by more people, and to improve the services we offer. The Statistics Dissemination Project is creating three new services:

  • OECD Statistics will provide access to complete databases where users can build their own tables and make extracts from the live data.
  • OECD Core Data will be a set of ready-made frequested requested tables and database extracts.
  • OECD Facts and Figures will combine commentary with easily interpretable and dynamic graphs.

 

OECD Statistics

OECD.Stat, our corporate database and its web browser, now gives access to around 300 datasets and offers three key features:

  • Discovery: Search for complex statistical data across OECD databases with one or two clicks.
  • Mix and Merge: Assemble data from various datasets and create customised tables.
  • Metadata: Get a clear explanation of the sources, definitions and other information related to the figures.

 

For more information about OECD.Stat, see this  factsheet.

Forthcoming Developments

Early this yes, we will launch an enhanced version of the OECD.Stat browser which will provide access to thematic database packages with links to related ready-made tables, publications and a database citation tool.  A pilot is available here: 

By the end of 2009 OECD.Stat will replace the Beyond 20/20 service currently provided via SourceOECD.


OECD Core Data

Core Data will provide easy access to about 1000 basic tables and database extracts covering the full range of OECD Statistics.This will include our most requested data, grouped into themes and made available in ready-made take-away formats, Excel®, PDF and online. In early 2009, a pilot of ready-to-download key tables will be freely accessible via the Statistics Portal and SourceOECD.


OECD Facts and Figures

Several experiments were launched to evaluate alternative ways of publishing data, the most recent of which is the presentation of charts and graphs with commentary in the Spotlight feature on the Statistics Portal. We are also evaluating several emerging data visualising tools:

This page will be regularly updated with the latest developments on the project.
