General Purpose Data Claims - Issuing tabular data compiled on individual request

Tabular data are datasets organised into a tabular format that contain aggregate statistical information. The possible content of tabular datasets has no quantitative limits; information requested might widely spread from only a few statistical data to complicated multi-dimensional tabular datasets.

In case the data request does not raise any professional or data protection concern, the data request is fulfilled in the requested form (email, letter, fax, etc.).

Who can request tabular data compiled on individual request?

Anyone can request tabular data compiled on individual request. In all cases access to the tabular data based on individual request is possible by accepting the terms of use.

Clarification of the data request

Prior to submitting the individual request for tabular data to the HCSO we would like to suggest the following:

It is advisable to check if the requested information is available in the already published tabular datasets or in publicly available HCSO databases (Tables system, called STADAT, or the Dissemination Database). The Information Service of the HCSO can provide further assistance, if necessary. It is also important to check the already available information before submitting the data request form because if the data request can be fulfilled based on already published data, the fulfilment of the data request is free of charge.
It is also useful to read the methodological documentation, the potential variables and the content in the metadata base of the HCSO. Further information is available in the Metainformation section of the HCSO website.
In case of submitting the data request please provide on the form the details about the requested tabular datasets (variables, period, breakdown) as accurately as possible. The Information Service of the HCSO can provide further assistance in the compilation of the data request form.
