CONCEPT HARMONISATION

Concept harmonisation: cross-domain

Currently harmonised with Eurobarometer.
Targeting SDMX-harmonized cross-domain concepts (time, frequency, age, occupation, etc.)

Concept harmonisation: domain-specific

☑️ Using the Cultural Access & Participation (and more general ICET model) and creating a lower-level breakdown of cross-domain variables whenever possible.
☑️ The quantification follows the ESSNet-Culture guidelines on measuring information, communication, enjoyment and transactions.
☑️ The most important domain-specific dimension is the occupation list qualified with high granularity to the music domain, which has been refined over eight years.

Concept harmonisation: grouping dimensions within the music

The dimensions are grouping or slicing variables (in the statistical datacube definition) for statistical aggregation. These are mainly the “cross-domain” concepts defined by the Statistical Data and Metadata Exchange (SDMX).

☑️ Geographical concepts (countries, NUTS regions and cities)
☑️ Age, Sex, and Gender)
☑️ Time concepts (frequency, period)
