The Common Metadata Framework is divided into four parts, each of which concentrates on different practical and theoretical aspects of statistical metadata systems, and provides vital knowledge for anyone working with statistical metadata. Part A - Statistical Metadata in a Corporate Context, Part B - Metadata Concepts, Standards, Models and Registries , Part C - Metadata and the Statistical Business Process, Part D - Implementation. The development of a framework for statistical metadata was initiated by national delegates to the February 2004 meeting of the Joint UNECE-Eurostat-OECD Work Session on Statistical Metadata (METIS)

So what happened with the Internet in 2011? How many email accounts were there in the world in 2011? How many websites? How much did the most expensive domain name cost? How many photos were hosted on Facebook? How many videos were viewed to YouTube? We’ve got answers to these questions and many more. A veritable smorgasbord of numbers, statistics and data lies in front of you. Using a variety of sources we’ve compiled what we think are some of the more interesting numbers that describe the Internet in 2011.
GAO Report GAO-05-1. GAO studied a diverse set of key indicator systems that provide economic, environmental, social and cultural information for local, state, or regional jurisdictions covering about 25 percent of the U.S. population—as well as several systems outside of the United States. GAO found opportunities to improve how our nation understands and assesses its position and progress.

Maakuntien suurimmissa kaupungeissa kirjastohankintoihin käytetään vuonna 2020 keskimäärin kuusi euroa asukasta kohden.Suomen yleisten kirjastojen pitämän tilastotietokannan perusteella hankintamäärärahat eivät ole merkittävästi vähentyneet vuoden 2015 valtionosuusuudistuksen jälkeen.
Tilaston perusteella hankintoihin on käytetty vuoden 2014 jälkeen noin 23 miljoonaa euroa vuosittain. Vuoden 2018 hankintoihin käytetty summa nousi yhteenlaskettuna 24,2 miljoonaan euroon.
On kuitenkin huomattava, että paikoin hankintamäärärahoja oli supistettu voimakkaasti jo ennen uudistusta. Vaikka hankintamäärärahat valtakunnantasolla nousivatkin vuodeksi 2018, rahaa oli silti vähemmän kuin vuonna 2010.

Let’s imagine a hypothetical situation. There’s an infection going round, and we want to predict the future severity of someone’s illness. There is a test that offers a good prediction. Let’s say the outcome of the test has a correlation of 0.78 with the patient's severity of infection. The problem with the test is that…
While implementing a quick toy example of Crane and Sawhney's really great Monte Carlo Geometry Processing paper, the question arose about whether a quick function I grabbed from The Internet to equally distribute points on a sphere was correct or not. Since it's absolutely the crux of the method, this is an important question! This notebook performs a rather unscientific check for equal distribution of points on the surface of a sphere. It uses the first algorithm from MathWorld
