OECD Stat Training--Nov 14, 2008

Kathleen DeBoer, from the OECD Washington Office, will present a 2 hour, hands-on training session on using the statistical resource OECD.Stat. OECD.Stat enables users to search for and extract data from across OECD’s many databases included in SourceOECD Statistics.

Part of the SourceOECD database, OECD.Stat offers four key features:

• Discovery: Search for complex statistical data across OECD databases with one click access to the datasets themselves from the search results.
• Mix and Merge: Extract data from across all 50 databases in one enquiry. New functions enable users to gather and assemble data from various datasets in unique and customizable tables.
• Metadata: Improved metadata down to the level of each datapoint means that users can understand the origins of each number and the overall context, aiding comprehension.
• Dynamic Graphics: As of April 2008, the ability to create dynamic graphics.
