[Informatics] Primary Quantitative Data - Any sources?

[Christopher Jansen]

Hello all.

I was getting my students to do a bit a check on their hypothesis today to make sure they could gather all the data needed to get a good mark. They were looking for primary quantitative data.

Am I right in thinking that the only real source of primary quantitative data is that gathered by the student in surveys?
It is hard to consider ABS stats as primary quantitative because the ABS do not offer raw/unedited/non value added data on the website. Therefore should the ABS stats and data be used as secondary quantitative?

If anyone else has some good primary quantitative data sources I would love to see them.

Thanks,
