Data Concepts for MDG Indicators
Age group
Age - or age range - of the individuals the observation refers to.
Frequency
Indicates rate of recurrence at which observations occur (e.g. monthly, yearly, biannually, etc.).
Location
Refers to a disaggregation within the Reference Area the data alludes; normally National (total), Urban or Rural - although additional disaggregations are possible within an area (e.g. subUrban).
Nature of data points
Information on the production and dissemination of the data (e.g.: if the figure has been produced and disseminated by the country, estimated by international agencies, etc.)
Reference Area
Reference Area: Specific areas (e.g. Country, Regional Grouping, etc) the observed values refer to. Reference areas can be determined according to different criteria (e.g.: geographical, economic, etc.).
Series
The phenomenon or phenomena to be measured in the data set. The word SERIES is used for consistency with the term used in the MDG Database. SERIES are all the official MDG series and background series currently in the MDG Database.
Sex
Gender condition: male or female. This dimension applies only if data can be dissaggregated by sex.
Source details
Information on the name and specific details of each observation's data source. Both the sources for the numerator and denominator could be specified here.
Source type
Type of data source: survey, administrative records, census or other. Details about the source, if available, could be provided in the free-text attribute SOURCE_DETAIL.
Time period details
When TIME_PERIOD refers to a date range, this attribute is used to provide METADATA on the actual range the observation refers to (e.g. for period '2001-2003' TIME_PERIOD would be 2002 but the actual dates --2001-2003-- would be expressed here).
Time period
Reference date - or date range - the observed value refers to (usually different from the dates of data production or dissemination). For MDG data exchange it is usually expressed as a four-digit year (e.g.: 1995) so, if the observation refers to a period of time (range), details about such period should be specified in the attribute TIME_DETAIL
Units of measurement
Dimension by which the series are described (e.g.: percentage, USD, etc.)
Unit multiplier
Exponent in base 10 that multiplied by the observation numeric value gives the result expressed in the unit of measure.
Observation Value
