Methodological Manual for Statistics on the Information Society (Survey Year 2008)

The first manual, which was related to the 2006 survey, was compiled in a joint effort of Eurostat, the NSI's and the OECD. The current version is drawn up as a tool for helping national statistical institutes (NSI) to translate the two Eurostat model questionnaires into national languages and to implement the national surveys following a harmonised methodology. It is a hands-on tool with recommended guidelines and does not replace statistical handbooks. Its main focus is on explanatory notes to the variables and attributes of the model questionnaires for the year 2008.
