I have used the CBS website to compile my own statistics for research. Their data is completely available online as far as I know and you can download the queries you run on the fly in .csv file format, or text or excel. They have various data tables depending on what you find interesting and compl

I am rather puzzled by some of the attitudes displayed in this discussion. It would have thought that information from Netherlands Statistics meets the requirements for inclusion in Wikidata. It is a primary source of high-quality, notable information. Further much of the information is related

Hoi, As far as I am concerned, data that is available on the web is fine if you use data on the web. It makes no difference when the data is to be used in the context of the WMF. When the CBS shares data with us in Wikidata, it makes the data available in Wikipedia. It is why I would like for som

Netherlands Statistics should just post the data on the web...so that anyone can use its "Linked Data". And actually, CSV on the Web is now a reality (no longer a need for XBRL) https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-vocabs/2015Jul/0016.html As DanBri notes in his P.S. at the bottom of the

So far as tables go, I would look at the data model behind XBRL. XBRL is sometimes maligned and often misunderstood, but essentially it is a format for presenting multi-dimensional tabular information. It is not really specific to finance, but financial reports really are hypercubes so it fits

Too much to input as individual statements on a single item each with a historical date qualifier, I would agree. But there really ought to be a good way to store serial or tabular data on-wiki, with wiki-style version tracking, that could then eg be specified as source data for the new graph

Hoi, Data of a national statistics organisation is by definition TOO much. My recommendation would be to give it initial focus on something basic, something like the number of inhabitants of municipalities. Another thing that a statistics bureau is good for is for using it as a source. When data in

About missing labels: in frwiki, most Wikidata data are added using Module:Wikidata. The module adds a generic "to be translated" category when there is no French label. With Wikidata usage picking up speed, the community is finally coming to grip with it, as can be seen from that stats at Catégori
