The ABS Web site has Evolved!
At the Australian Bureau of Statistics, we are continuing to improve our web site as part of our commitment to provide easy access to ABS information. The section of the site previously known as 'AusStats' is now known as 'Statistics' and has undergone a major redesign. These improvements have been implemented on the web site on 27 January 2006 and can be accessed from the 'Statistics' link on any ABS web page.
Some features of the new design include improved navigation to information and statistical products, which are now available for viewing by:
- Catalogue Number;
- Release Date;
- Topic (such as Economy, Labour Force);
- Title; and
- Search.
Also instead of related product information being at the bottom of a page, information is now grouped at the top of the page. Title, Issue and Release details are all still there, but the product is then broken-down into several components using tabs so related information is easier to find. The interface consists of five tabbed pages;
1. Summary Tab - Contains a short description of the data, comments and analysis of the statistical data, and any media releases or feature articles.
2. Details Tab - Contains access to the Publication, Time Series Spreadsheets and Data Cubes.
3. Explanatory Notes Tab - Contains supporting information such as Abbreviations, the Glossary and the Explanatory Notes.
4. Related Information Tab - Contains a list of links to similar statistical data.
5. Past & Future Releases Tab - Contains details about when the data will be published in the future, a list of previous publication dates and when the data was first published.
