Title: Examining Disclosure Risk and Data Utility: An Administrative Data Case Study

Citation Type: Miscellaneous

Publication Year: 2013

Abstract: The plethora of new data sources combined with a growing interest in increased access to previously unpublished data poses a set of ethical challenges regarding individual privacy. This paper sets out one aspect of those challenges: the need to anonymise data in such a form that protects the privacy of individuals while providing sufficient data utility for data users. This issue is discussed using a case study of Scottish Government's administrative data, in which disclosure risk is examined and data utility is assessed using a potential 'real-world' analysis.
