Documentation for individual data value

Behind the Vision of Britain web site is a true data library, a collection of individual statistics each with its own metadata to tell users what it means. These metadata also control how the system visualises statistical data through graphs and maps. This is what we know about the particular data value you selected:

Attribute	Value	Meaning
Identifier	19759245	This number locates the particular value within the data table; it is like an accession number in a conventional library.
Value	295	This is the data value itself.
Date(s) covered	1931	We store dates within a date object, which can hold anything from a simple year value, for a census, to a period defined by two calendar dates.
Administrative area covered	10058648	Midlothian ScoCnty
Meaning (DDS cell reference)	AGCEN_WORKERS_GEN:casual_f	Cell within nCube N_AGCEN_WORKERS_GEN: Farmworkers, as reported by the Agricultural Census Dimension Variable Category 1 Agricultural Census Generalised Categories for Farmworkers Casual, Female Universe: All Farmworkers
Source	ScotAgStat	Department of Agriculture and Fisheries for Scotland, Scottish Agricultural Statistics (HM Stationery Office) ,
Status	D	Derived. This usually indicates that the value was generated from raw data using the mappings defined in the DDS. They are sometimes suppressed from table listings.
Precision	E	Exact
Created by	add_derived_1	This is the name of our script which inserted this data value into the main data table. For non-derived values, this is usually done by copying data values across from our more conventional GBHDB database, and the scripts are usually named after the table in GBHDB they copy data from.

This table lists, in its "value" column, a single row from our data table. The values are mostly identifiers and codes which are given meaning by our main sub-systems, and the "meaning" column reaches into these to tell you more.
