Practical considerations – data about the sector • Validity / reliability – measurement • Provenance – administrative / survey / other • Geographical coverage (scale) • Classification (ICNPO still too broad) • Temporal consistency • Accessibility – degree of difficulty • Purpose – who is going to use this material and why?
Data generated by the sector • What sort of data? Clients, volunteers / staff, funding flows (both aggregate and disaggregated)? • Challenges of missing data – ability to deal with these • Challenges of sharing data – esp in a competitive situation • Potential of linkage to other sources e.g. administrative databases
