3. 2001 Census of Population Products and Services
Major Changes for 2001
Internet primary delivery vehicle for Standard Products
Theme-based approach for dissemination of tabular data

Major Changes for 2001 (Concluded)
METADATA search and indexing capabilities for Internet and Electronic Reference Products
• Far fewer CD-ROM products

I-SHELF Internet Delivery Model
Why Did We Develop It?
Leverage off E-SHELF technology
Capitalize on Internet as key data delivery mechanism
Make more data available to the public while keeping content, delivery and data retrieval
capabilities simple
Move away from 1996 CD-ROM-based model

6. 2001 Census of Population Products and Services
I-SHELF Internet Delivery Model
Why Did We Develop It? (Concluded)
Integration with Canadian Statistics Module and CANSIM II
Layered delivery method - different things to different levels of users
• Avoid HTML mark-up for Internet tables

7. 2001 Census of Population Products and Services
I-SHELF Internet Delivery Model
Graduated Internet Access - LEVEL 1
Public Good Access to provide more data to the general public in both HTML and CSV output
formats
“One GEO at a time”
Directed via catalogue reference to DSP and/or regional offices for advanced data and
output needs

8. 2001 Census of Population Products and Services
I-SHELF Internet Delivery Model
Graduated Internet Access - LEVEL 2
Public Good - EXPANDED access to DSP, DLI, Funding Feds, Provincial and Territorial
Focal Points, Regional Reference Centres (HTML, CSV and B2020)
• Other data needs for these groups serviced through existing channels
Directed via catalogue reference to regional offices for advanced data and output needs

9. 2001 Census of Population Products and Services
I-SHELF Internet Delivery Model
PROTOTYPE DEMONSTRATION

10. 2001 Census of Population Products and Services
Standard Data Products
Population and Dwelling Counts, Theme-based Tabulations, Profiles, and PUMF
Sub-headings transparent to users for Theme-based Tabulations
Graduated Internet Access Model
Varying levels of geography depending on product
Products to be specified with Internet dissemination in mind
More “public good” (free) data available which are easy to understand and download
Expanded content of popular Community Profiles without losing simple, user-friendly qualities
New dissolved cumulative CSD Profile (1996 to 2001)
Proposed hierarchical PUMF file based on one sample with linked component files (HOUSEHOLDS, FAMILIES, INDIVIDUALS)

11. 2001 Census of Population Products and Services
Reference Products
Preview, Dictionary, Catalogue, Stubsets, Handbook, Reference Maps and Technical Reports
Implement concept of “Plain Language Text”
Preview to be reduced in content for easier reference and used as a marketing tool
Dictionary, Catalogue and Stubset products become integral parts of the principle of METADATA search and indexing capability with linkages to IMDB
Stubset products - provide details of all census variables (working tool for facilitating specification of custom tabulations with clients)
Selected Census Reference Maps, up to 11” x 17”, will be printable via Internet. All Census Reference Maps will be printable “on-demand” through ROs
Reduction in formalized print while increasing available Internet output options (HTML and PDF formats)

12. 2001 Census of Population Products and Services
Custom Services
Custom Cross-tabulations, Semi-custom Profiles and a newly proposed Data Analysis Service
Produced from both 100% and 20% databases across census years from
Data Analysis Service (proposed):
Internet interface that will allow researchers to submit SAS/SPSS code
Run against secured subset of 20% database
Resulting output of regressions, correlations, etc. are verified by STC staff for confidentiality prior to delivery
Research and feasibility study currently underway

13. 2001 Census of Population Products and Services
Analytic Products
Current proposal under development and review
“Census Newsletter” - will contain a series of short articles with analytic perspective on selected 2001 Census themes/topics
Internet only
Planned release one month following the Day of Release products for the theme/topic
