The work is organized as a project, RAIRD – Remote Access Infrastructure for Register Data 1 Statistics Norway and the Norwegian Social Science Data Services (NSD) aim at establishing a national research infrastructure providing easy access to large amounts of rich high-quality statistical data for scientific research while at the same time managing statistical confidentiality and protecting the integrity of the data subjects. Data may also be combined in ways that give longitudinal data. The data may be combined and presented as cross section data. Data with identifiers are stored and accumulated over time. The common identifiers (persons and economic units) give Statistics Norway the possibility to link information from different sources (administrative and own statistical surveys). Statistics Norway also has close cooperation with administrative registers like the Population Registers and Central Coordinating Register for Legal Entities. In Norwegian official statistics there is wide use of administrative data. These principles of confidentiality are normally legal founded and are common for official statistics in most countries.

For register data this user demand has to be met in a way that is in accordance with the principles of data protection and confidentiality for micro data. There is an increasing demand for access to micro data from researchers and for empirical research based on register data from public government.
