DSEIS Defined |
The DSEIS was developed as
a means of improving the ease and speed in access and dissemination
of data on population concerns. The data that are stored and
may be retrieved in the DSEIS describe the state of the PPMP,
as well as provide a means of evaluating the implementation
of the ICPD Programme of Action in the country.
The system features the following functionalities:
- Access mode;
- Data/Information in the DSEIS can be accessed
in three types, i.e., by year, by area (pseudo-GIS), and
by sector;
- Generates statistical reports/table, both
pre-determined and ad-hoc type, i.e., data users may dictate
indicators, e.g. total population of MMR or their specific
disaggregation, e.g. population by five-year age groups,
or by regions;
- Respond to specific queries, e,g,, on
an indicator (or group of indicators) for a specific year,
even several time periods;
- Provide a description of the indicator
being queried as well as the data source;
- Accept inputs from diskette and/or data
communication transfer of related information.
Most of the data included are official statistics,
which have been carefully generated by the Philippine Statistical
System. Inclusion of data from unofficial sources is subjected
to screening, evaluation and approval of the POPCOM Executive
Staff, possibly with assistance from an inter-agency committee.
POPCOM provides recognition to the rightful data sources and
is willing to provide users with assistance and support for
data inquiries on some characteristics of the data and its
source. |
