Data from data providers to the databank of basic data

Here you can read about the guidelines for receiving data intended for publication in the databank of basic data of Denmark’s Data Portal (DDP)., If a statistical authority wishes to have its data published in DDP’s databank of basic data, the authority must contact DDP at , ddvgrunddatateam@dst.dk, . DDP will arrange an initial meeting with the statistical authority to discuss the overall characteristics of the register, including dataset size, number of tables, update timing and frequency, timeline, and conditions for publication in DDP databank of basic data. If desired, Statistics Denmark’s (DST) Data Protection Officer (DPO) may be invited to participate in the meeting., DST enters into data transfer agreements with all external data providers in order to transfer data ownership and responsibility to DST. These agreements specify update formats and frequencies, handling of data breaches, and related matters., After this, communication becomes more detailed, covering topics such as naming of the register and how data will be transferred to DDP. The formats must comply with the quality requirements listed below., Receiving External Data, DDP prefers data delivery via transfer to an SFTP server. DDP provides guidance and assistance in setting up this process. Other delivery methods are also possible., Data Types and Quality Requirements for Data to Be Included in the databank of basic data, All data must comply with a set of requirements and standards regarding formats, naming etc. This ensures that data is presented in a uniform, standardized, and easily accessible way. Data are combined across registers and across time, and to make this possible, DDP requires data to be standardized both across registers and over time., When creating data, the provider must ensure that they comply with the general guidelines for establishing Basic Data in DDP., Variable types, lengths, and names, Data types relate to the content of the variable. The following describes how to determine the appropriate data type for a variable., Keys and Identifiers, Keys and identifiers should have the same names across all data series. They must all be defined as character variables, and when they contain purely numeric content, they must include leading zeros (see below)., They must also have an accurate and precise length specification corresponding to the maximum value of the content, and the length must remain consistent over time., Examples (Name, Variable Type, Length):, PNR — CHAR 10, CVRNR — CHAR 8, SENR — CHAR 8 (leading zeros), JOURNR — CHAR 16, RECNUM — CHAR 16, EJENDOMSNUMMER — CHAR 6 (leading zeros), ADRESSE_ID — CHAR 8 (leading zeros), There are, of course, more keys and identifiers than those listed above. DDP is happy to advise on their correct setup., Character Variables – Classifications, Classifications such as SEX, AGE, MUNICIPALITY, and MARITAL STATUS, where the value can be translated into text via a code-text table or format description, must be defined as character variables. Most variables will fall into this category. These fields must also have an accurate length specification, and fields with length > 1 must include leading zeros when they contain purely numeric content., Numeric Variables – Calculation Variables, Variables that can be used for calculations—such as quantities, sums, amounts, or counts—must be numeric. The variable must have an accurate length specification corresponding to the maximum value., For example, AGE should be defined as CHAR(3), as the maximum value may exceed 100. Example of content with leading zeros: AGE = 001, 010, 100., Date Variables, Date fields may be pure dates, but where time information is relevant, they may also be of the timestamp type., Variable Names, Variable names must not contain the Danish characters Æ/æ, Ø/ø, or Å/å., Missing Values in SAS, Variable Type    Missing in SAS, Numeric              . (period), Character           '' (empty string), 1.Numeric variables , A period (.) can be processed in SAS when it is a numeric variable., 2.Character variables , An empty string ('') indicates that the variable is character but contains no value. Values such as “Unknown”, “None”, or 0 must , not, be used. , Documentation requirements for external data to be included in databank of basic data, The external data provider must supply register and variable documentation when the delivery agreement is established. The documentation is published in the DDP App and on DST’s website. Documentation can be uploaded via the Metadata Loader. Guidance can be provided upon request., Variable descriptions are published in the DDP App after the documentation has been uploaded, allowing users to find the relevant information when ordering data., Additional descriptions of the basic data register are published on DDP’s website under , Data from other sources, , where the register receives its own section., In addition to the documentation mentioned above, the data provider is also required to keep DDP informed about data breaches, changes in reporting, changes in legislation, etc. A written notification is required so that DDP can pass the information on to users or add it to the website. This is further specified in the data transfer agreement prepared between the data provider and DDP.

The job vacancy statistics is an important labour market indicator as businesses typically reduce the number of job vacancies before they begin the dismissal of employees. Data on job vacancies is collected in accordance with similar guidelines by all EU Member States, which implies that the statistics are suitable for comparing the development in the number of job vacancies across the EU Member States., Statistical presentation, The statistics shows the quarterly development in the real number of job vacancies and job vacancy rates in relation to the sum of job vacancies and occupied posts in the Danish labour market. The statistics are broken into economic activity and size, which makes it possible to monitor and analyse the scope and structure of the demand for labour by industry and size level of the workplaces. Furthermore, the number of job vacancies and job vacancy rates at regional level are estimated., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The statistics are compiled with use off a digital questionnaire, with a quarterly survey population of approximately 7,000 local units . Data are corrected for errors and for not reported data an imputation is conducted. , Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The users of the statistics are primary the press, private companies, private persons and Eurostat. The statistic is used in analysis about the demand for labour and in the public debate. Data on job vacancies are collected in accordance with similar guidelines by all EU Member States, which implies that the statistics are suitable for comparing the development in the number of job vacancies across the EU Member States., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, As with all other sample-based statistics, there are some sample errors associated with the estimates. As is the case in other EU Member States, the variation coefficient (CV), which is the standard deviation in relation to the estimate, is used in calculating the sample errors. For the total number of occupied posts the variation coefficient normally is under 1 per cent, while for the total number of job vacancies the variation coefficient is 3-5 per cent. For the NACE sections and size classes the CV are relatively high. This is due to the great variations between the number of job vacancies reported and the many data reported concerning zero vacancies.., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, Data are released around 75 days after the reference quarter. The punctuality is very high, as delays in planned releases happen very rarely., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, From the third quarter of 2012 a new more updated population is used in the enumeration process. The population is drawn from the ESR-register and contains information on the number of occupied posts, which are only three quarters old compared to the former population which was based on a less updated register. The changed enumeration process is estimated to have impact on the number of job vacancies, but not on the JVR (Job Vacancy Rate), which means that the number of job vacancies are not comparable historically in contrast to the JVR., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published quarterly in a Danish press release, at the same time as the tables are updated in the StatBank. In the StatBank, these statistics can be found under the subject , Job vacancies, . For further information, go to the , subject page, ., Read more about accessibility and clarity

Experimental statistics

Experimental statistics are statistics that are in development, so that methods and sources may change in the process towards the final form of the statistics based on experiences, e.g. in the form of feedback from users. , In what ways do they differ from Statistics Denmark’s usual statistics? , In general, any statistics published by Statistics Denmark are official statistics. However, experimental statistics are not regarded as official statistics until they have been thoroughly tested to the point where they obtain a permanent form and a new status as official statistics. , It appears from the individual sets of statistics whether they have experimental status. The statistical documentation explains specifically what the experimental status of the individual set of statistics involves. It could be e.g. that the methods are not quite thoroughly tested, that new data sources are being tested, or that in its preliminary form, it only covers part of the intended area. , Which experimental statistics does Statistics Denmark publish? , Experimental statistics are gradually being developed to meet the demand of users. This page presents an overview of these, but in general, the individual sets of statistics can be found under the relevant subject pages or subjects in Statbank Denmark. , Is the uncertainty higher, and should you take special precautions when using it? , Limitations and reservations vary between the different sets of statistics and appear from the statistical documentation for each set of statistics. , Why does Statistics Denmark publish experimental statistics? , The purpose of experimental statistics is to respond to user requests for timely indicators of the development of society. Using more and more new sources and methods, we can create timely statistics in areas where the official and quality-checked statistics often have a time lag of months or perhaps years. Publishing the statistics in a preliminary form allows us to get feedback from the users, before we have found the final form, and thus gives us a more relevant product. At the same time, it gives the users an opportunity to become familiar with the statistics. , For instance, the experimental statistics could be a key indicator of a phenomenon that we describe through official statistics (e.g. Statistics Denmark developed a number of experimental statistics as indicators of the development of Covid-19). In other contexts, indicators can be official statistics, e.g. Consumer expectations.,  , Statistics Denmark's experimental statistics, Here you can find an overview of the experimental statistics that Statistics Denmark currently produces. The statistics are presented either as part of a subject page here on dst.dk or as a table in the StatBank., Health, Consultations with physicians among NEETs, Purchase of prescription medicine among NEETs and Hospital utilisation among NEETs - on the subject page , Health of vulnerable groups, Tables in the Statbank: , Consultations with physicians in the population (NEETSYG), , , Purchase of prescription medicine in the population (NEETMED), , , Hospital utilisation in the population by type of contact (NEETLPR), , , Hospital utilisation in the population by primary diagnosis groups (NEETDIAG), , , The populations distance to closest practitioner (SUNDAF01), , , The populations use of general practitioner (SUNDAF02), Migrations, Table in StatBank: , Immigrations per week (VAN1UGE), Bankruptcies, Bankruptcies and declarations of bankruptcies - on the subject page , Bankruptcies, Tables in StatBank: , Bankruptcies per week (KONK10E), , , Bankruptcies per month (KONK11E), , , Bankruptcies per year (KONK12E), International trade, International trade at constant prices - on the subject page , Imports and exports of goods and services, Table in StatBank: , External trade in 2015-prices monthly (UHFASTP1), Energy and air emissions accounts, Tables in StatBank: , Climate footprint (AFTRYK1), , , Climate footprint by supplying industries (AFTRYK2), Traffic, Port calls in Danish ports (AIS data) - on the subject page , Shipping and ports, Table in StatBank: , Port calls in Danish ports (AIS1), Historical national accounts, Tables in StatBank: , Experimentally backcast of population figures of the current national accounts for Danmark (HNRB), , , Experimentally backcast figures of the current national accounts for Danmark (HNR1), Complete national accounts, Tables in StatBank: , Income and consumption of households by quintile (NAHT1), , , Income and consumption of households by type of household (NAHT2), Rent indices, Table in StatBank: , Rent indices for commercial properties (ERHEJD1)
