Central Bureau of Statistics
CaribMedia launches the website of CBS during an official launch party at Surfside Marina. Minister Nilo Swaen first applauded the work of CBS over the past decades. Then Martijn Balkestein of CBS gave a demonstration of the website, showing how easy information can be downloaded. This is a big step for CBS, because now anyone interested in the freely available statistics can not only download, but even analyze the data themselves. All statistical data is available in Excel format.
The website makes extensive use of the organizational features of ContentXL: subcategories for downloads, a tree view of all categories, popups for additional information, and sortable tables for uploads
There is also an interactive map of Aruba which CBS will make more use of in the future.
