• Major objective to create a user-friendly interface so that queries can be constructed and data can be downloaded easily

• WICID has a guest function that allows anyone to logon and explore the system but those wishing to download data are required:

• - to obtain an Athens userid and password

• - to become a registered census user

• The Census Registration Service facilitates access to the census data resources (http://census.data-archive.ac.uk/)

• Currently the system is only available to members of the academic community in the United Kingdom

• Once registered, access to the CIDS homepage is at
