In this part of the application, describe whose data the statistics will be based on, which registers the data will be extracted from and for what time period. First define the target group, and then describe the data to be extracted for it.
Select the data controllers and datasets from the menus, which are based on the Data Resources Catalogue. If the data you need is not in the menus, add it manually.
7. Target groups
Enter the name, basis and size of the target group. If you are forming a new group, select the data controller and dataset and describe the extraction criteria. If you are using a previously formed group, explain on what basis it was formed.
If a permit for the target group is currently being applied for from another authority, enter the information that is available at the moment. Give each group a clear, specific name and use the same names in the data extractions and the tabulation plan.
8. Data extractions
Describe which data will be extracted for the target group and for what time period. Add a separate row for each combination of data controller and register or dataset.
Where relevant, also include:
- any age or sex restrictions
- the time period and the variable used to define it
- any special restrictions on the extraction
- the order of the extractions, if the extraction has several stages
9. Data extraction review
Check the summary of the information you have entered. The data will be extracted exactly as you have described it, and errors in the target group criteria or variables can seriously affect the statistics produced. If you notice an error, delete the row and create a new one.
