1 location_code: Used a) inside datasets and b) in data file names for transfer of data/results between analytic systems. All values are unique.
2 location_name: Used (rarely) inside results (figures, tables, documents). Can be confusing as some names are duplicated. Its rare usage is demarcated by a line through the text.
3 location_name_description_nb: Used (frequently) inside results (figures, tables, documents). All values are unique.
4 location_name_file_nb_utf: Used (frequently) in the file names for results (figures, tables, documents). All values are unique.
5 location_name_file_nb_ascii: Used (rarely) in the file names for results (figures, tables, documents). Used if file systems have problems with the Norwegian letters æøå. All values are unique.
6 Landsdeler/riskdeler. Geographical regions.
7 Bo- og arbeidsmarkedsregioner. Housing and labor market regions.
8 Mattilsynet-regioner. Food authority regions.

Ages

Ages should be coded as characters and should always contain 3 digits. If it is an age range, the two ages are joined by an underscore (e.g. 005_010).

Use 085p instead of >=085 or 85+, as this will allow for an easy conversion from long to wide formatted data.

Valid ages in the csverse format
Value class Definition
"000" character One year age group (0 year olds)
"079" character One year age group(79 year olds)
"000_004" character Age span of 0-4 year olds
"065p" character Age span of >=65 year olds
"missing" character Missing/unknown
"total" character Everyone

This format will help your data be easily sorted, kept in the right order, and generate valid variable names if converted to wide-format.

Missing ages should be coded as “missing”.

Sex

Sex should be coded as characters.

Valid sexes in the csverse format
Value class Definition
"male" character Male
"female" character Female
"missing" character Missing/unknown
"total" character Everyone

Missing sexes should be coded as “missing”.
