The statistical definitions would be in delegated or implementing acts, see Articles 4 and 5] (a) microdata means non-aggregated observations, or measurements of characteristics of individual units , usually the person or the household; (b) confidential microdata means data which allow units to be identified, either directly or indirectly, thereby disclosing individual information; (c) aggregated data means the result of transforming microdata into quantitative measures; (d) pre-checked data means data verified by the Member States, on the basis of agreed common rules; (e) data collection means a set of microdata, combining variables collected about the same observation units organised according to the domains referred to in article 2, paragraph 1; (f) topic and detailed topic mean the content of the information to be collected about the observation units. Topics and detailed topics differ as regards their level of details. A topic is organised to cover a number of detailed topics; (g) domain means one or several data collections organised in order to cover particular topics; (h) module means a set of variables pertaining to a detailed topic; (i) regular module means a module implemented on the basis of a defined periodicity; (j) supplementary module means a module not implemented on the basis of a defined periodicity or only once, limited in size and intending to meet specific users needs; (k) variable means elementary information collected about the observation units. The value of a variable is an absolute figure or a reference to a position in a classification; (l) sample means a subset of a frame where elements are selected based on a process with a known probability of selection, designed so as to allow to derive estimations valid for the statistical population; (m) sampling frame (or frame) means a list of the statistical population of units from which a sample can be selected; (n) observation unit means. the entity being studied and about which data is collected (usually persons or households), ; (o) responding unit means the unit that supplies information to the survey authority.
