Abstract

The BBC Domesday disc contains an impressive range of socio-economic variables for small geographical areas. This paper outlines the process by which the variables for inclusion on the disc were selected, and the difficulties of obtaining data which provides a comprehensive reflection of the British economy and society. Attention is drawn to the uniquely geographical character of the data contained on the disc--and the fact that information for the 21 major types of data collection area is stored thus permitting scale effects to be investigated by the user. The difficulties of using data obtained from government sources and the facilities available for interpreting data available on the disc are discussed.
