Data considerations in the Dutch Census of 2011 (1)Last traditional census: 1971
Unwillingness (nonresponse) and reduction ofexpenses no more traditional censuses
Alternative: virtual census1981 and 1991: Population Register and surveysDevelopment 90’s: more registers →2001 and 2011:integrated set of registers and surveysEuropean Census Act → hypercubes

Introduction to the quality framewok
SOURCE: - Focus on data source as a whole- Contact information related- Delivery related aspects- and more
METADATA:Focuses on the (availability of the) information required to understand and use the data in the data source
DATA: - Technical checks- Accuracy related
issues
Research on the quality of registers to make data decisions in the Dutch Virtual Census 6
Low frequency of delivery
Suffers seriously from selective undercoverage
Purpose dataprovider unclear
Important variables are missing
Results Source hyper dimension

Results Metadata hyperdimension
Time period in source can’t be transferred easily to the time point needed
Unique keys can’t be easily used for linking
Time differences in reporting periods

Conclusions• The virtual census has proved to be a successful concept in the Netherlands
• The quality framework is a useful tool for making data decisions in the virtual census
• The “quality study” started in this paper will be extended to be able to determine how all census variables will be derived
