Michael Bloomberg .... on making decisions
for business or government
Data = A number in a context
Data = A number in a context
“10.0%” is NOT data
“The 2005 poverty rate for the U.S. is 10.0%” is data
“The 2006 poverty rate for the U.S. as collected by the ACS for the housing unit population is 10.0%” is more data
Information on questionnaire, sample size, rotation, imputation, weighting, etc., is still more data
4
The Wider ContextThe Wider ContextOne datum is seldom useful
Analysis requires putting the data point in context
Related variables
Other geographies
Other time periods
5
Dissemination ChallengesDissemination Challenges
How to present the right data with the right context to meet users actual needs
How to ensure that the most recent and most correct data are displayed
6
Different issues
Different audiences
Solution = Different views of the same data

A Smart Data-Networking Framework
A Smart Data-Networking Framework
Capacity to handle different kinds of data in the same environment or framework
Empowered by statistical intelligence• documentation• statistical usage rules• data integration rules
Stores the data one time, use it many times More data in the network the more useful
