Abstract:
This session will start by covering some basic questions such as: What is linked data? Where does it come from? (where can you get it and how do you apply for it?) What is it good for? (examples of research questions that can be addressed using linked data). We will then consider some of the methodological challenges that are specific to research using administrative or linked data, focusing on the concepts of dynamic populations and linkage error.
