Direção-Geral de Estatísticas da Educação e Ciência - DGEEC: a data access report

The main format pattern

The largest normalized label is XLSX. It appears on 62 resource records.

This represents 43.1% of the listed format declarations.

The two largest labels account for 84.0% of that total.

The export contains 144 format declarations across 5 normalized labels.

These are catalogue declarations. This report does not verify every file or service response.

Compare the resource structure

This entry has 4.36 listed format declarations per dataset.

The median among 40 listed publishers in Portugal is 2.78.

The entry records 0.2% of the datasets in the saved national portal export.

Multiple resources can indicate file versions, geographic parts, or alternative formats. A larger ratio does not prove better data.

The export retains up to 20 format labels per publisher. It excludes empty labels and some small publishers.

Check the two source counters

The dataset metadata declares 145 resources. The format table contains 144 declarations.

These totals differ. The metadata counter and the format table use separate source fields.

The percentages in this report use the listed format declarations as their denominator.

The export does not establish a verified count of unique, accessible files.

Interpret the metadata dates

The stored sample contains 33 dataset titles. 33 have a recorded modification date.

Those dates range from 2019-07-24 to 2025-10-03.

A catalogue edit can change the modification date without a change to the observations.

The sample can omit older records. It does not establish a publication rate or a complete historical series.

Compare the observation period on the source page before you describe a trend.

Checks for XLSX

1. Identify the sheet that contains the observations.
2. Separate the header rows and notes from the data rows.
3. Preserve identifier columns as text.
4. Check formulas and stored values before export.
5. Record the sheet name with the source date.

Plan access to the data

An XLSX workbook can contain several sheets. A visible table can include formulas, notes, and merged cells.

1. Open the government source portal.
2. Find the required dataset with its exact catalogue title.
3. Confirm the observation period and geographic coverage.
4. Read the licence for that dataset.
5. Choose a file format that preserves the required fields.
6. Record the source URL and access date.

What the evidence supports

The format table identifies the main access methods in the saved catalogue.

The declaration ratio describes the structure of the saved catalogue records.

Neither measure establishes the accuracy, completeness, or current availability of the underlying observations.

Use a second dated catalogue export before any claim that publication volume increased or decreased.
