Series labels are most frequently identified by displaying the entries for a matrix. However, once a series label is known, it is not necessary to list a matrix first. Several indexes exist to assist in locating the series label of the data you wish to retrieve or plot. Alternatively, an index is also provided for the titles or descriptors of series and a further index captures the detail from the notes accompanying the series. Two primary strategies may be applied in a search.
Searches can also be based on keywords from three sources, each of which has an index.
The text of the Alphabetical Listing of matrices mentioned above. The short title or descriptor of each time series. All of the text of all series, including footnotes and additional information.
