[DDI-users] valuing digital data

[Linda.Moore at stats.govt.nz]

While not strictly DDI related, I wonder if anyone on this list can help 
me out

I am looking for methodologies to give a value to digital data holdings. 
>From my research so far, it seems that few institutions give a value to 
their data. It is of course especially difficult to give a value to 
official statistical data, such as a population census, which is not 
tradeable.

Does anyone know of any methodologies for valuing data, or any 
institutions which value their holdings?

Any tips would be much appreciated

Thank you

Linda
