UNI-CEN Standardized Census Data Table - Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) - 2006 - Wide Format (DBF) (Version 2023-03)

UNI-CEN Standardized Census Data Tables contain Census data that have been reformatted into a common table format with standardized variable names and codes. The data are provided in two tabular formats for different use cases. \"Long\" tables are suitable for use in statistical environments, while \"wide\" tables are commonly used in GIS environments. The long tables are provided in Stata Binary (dta) format, which is readable by all statistics software. The wide tables are provided in comma-separated values (csv) and dBase 3 (dbf) formats with codebooks. The wide tables are easily joined to the UNI-CEN Digital Boundary Files. For the csv files, a .csvt file is provided to ensure that column data formats are correctly formatted when importing into QGIS. A schema.ini file does the same when importing into ArcGIS environments. As the DBF file format supports a maximum of 250 columns, tables with a larger number of variables are divided into multiple DBF files.

UNI-CEN标准化普查数据表（UNI-CEN Standardized Census Data Tables）包含经重新格式化为通用表格格式、采用标准化变量名称与编码的普查数据。针对不同应用场景，该数据集提供两类表格格式："长格式"表格适配统计分析环境，"宽格式"表格则多用于地理信息系统（GIS）环境。长格式表格采用Stata二进制（dta）格式存储，可被所有统计软件读取。宽格式表格提供逗号分隔值（csv）与dBase 3（dbf）两种格式，并附带代码簿。宽格式表格可便捷地与UNI-CEN数字边界文件进行关联拼接。针对csv格式文件，配套提供.csvt文件，以确保在导入QGIS时列数据格式可被正确应用。若需在ArcGIS环境中导入数据，可通过schema.ini文件实现相同的格式保障效果。由于DBF文件格式最多支持250列，变量数量超出上限的表格会被拆分为多个DBF文件。如需了解更多关于文件来源、制作方法及使用方式的详细信息，请参阅https://borealisdata.ca/dataverse/unicen_docs处的官方文档。如需了解该项目的更多背景与详情，请访问https://observatory.uwo.ca/unicen。
