The page is structured in areas:
Information
Actions
Visualisations
Similar data
Each area can be accessed by:
Clicking on the section name in the side navigation menu in the upper area of the page
Scrolling the page up and down.
Information
This area provides:
The location of the dataset in the navigation tree (in a breadcrumb).
The dataset name.
The dataset code.
The date of the last update of the dataset.
The source of the dataset (not available for every dataset).
The About this dataset button to open the dataset information window (see below).
The Explanatory texts button to display the explanatory notes (not available for every dataset).
The Add to 'My datasets' button to add the dataset to My data basket (see this page).
The Add to 'My datasets' button is displayed only if the dataset has not been previously added. In which case the button Remove from 'My datasets' is displayed.
Dataset page
The Dataset page is accessible by clicking on About this dataset. This modal appears:
This modal exposes:
In the first part:
Basic information on the dataset, like the date of its last update
Command buttons:
Click to add the dataset to the My data basket
Click to download the data (in TSV or SDMX 2.1 formats)
Click to access the metadata page describing this dataset
Clickto share the dataset on websites (such as social networks)
Please note that not every dataset has a corresponding metadata page. If the button is grayed out, it means there is no metadata page available for this dataset
The second part of the modal presents three tabs:
1. Default tab, which displays for every dimension of the dataset the selected codes along with the following information:
Example:
The label of the dimension (Demographic indicator in the example)
The code of the dimension (INDIC_DE in the example)
The amount of positions used in the dataset (5 in the example)
The amount of positions available in the codelist corresponding to the dimension (28 in the example)
The list of positions effectively used in the dataset (on the right side)
2. Full dataset (name of the dataset) tab, which displays for every dimension of the dataset the total available codes along with the following information:
Example:
The label of the dimension (Demographic indicator in the example)
The code of the dimension (INDIC_DE in the example)
The amount of positions available in the codelist corresponding to the dimension (28 in the example)
The list of positions available in the dataset (on the right side)
3. Custom datasets tab, which contains any saved data view of the dataset.
Example:
The views saved for the dataset
The Create Custom dataset button, which redirects to the “Define your custom dataset“ window
The button to download the data (in TSV or SDMX 2.1 formats), corresponding to the saved view
The button to access the metadata page describing the dataset, corresponding to the saved view
In case there is not saved view, only the Create Custom dataset button is displayed in the tab.
Actions
This area contains 2 tabs:
Selection. This tab changes the layout, in other words, the presentation of the data. The available options depend on the current view such as table, bar chart, line chart, map, time series. It also allows a specific filtering using the dimensions available in the dataset. For example, to select specific TIME observations or GEO areas.
Format. The available options depend on the current view such as table, bar chart, line chart, map, time series.
Download allows downloading data.
allows for creation and display of a custom view.
Visualisations
The content and features of this area are extensively described in the Viewing data help pages.
Similar data
Some datasets are related to other datasets. The similar data area lists horizontally those datasets. Clicking on a listed item opens the visualisation page of the dataset:
Similar data may not be available for every dataset.
If the dataset has a parent dataset, this dataset won’t appear in the "Similar data" area. The name of the parent dataset can be obtained in the "View dataset page" feature, accessible through the Information Area.
