OECD, IHME, and Our World in Data

Three international sources that agents are frequently asked to read to two decimal places.

Our World in Data

• Every chart on ourworldindata.org has a downloadable CSV; append .csv to a grapher URL, for example https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/share-of-population-in-extreme-poverty.csv.
• Columns are Entity, Code (ISO3), Year, and the indicator. Filter by Code rather than by country name.
• OWID republishes other sources (World Bank PIP, IHME, WHO). Cite the upstream source named in the chart's metadata as well as OWID.

OECD

• The OECD Data Explorer exposes SDMX endpoints; CSV is easiest: request the dataflow with format=csvfilewithlabels.
• Education spending shares and early-years indicators live in the Education at a Glance dataflows. Vintages lag one to two years.
• Values are often shares as percentages; check the UNIT_MEASURE column before rounding.

IHME (Global Burden of Disease)

• The GBD Results tool at vizhub.healthdata.org/gbd-results requires selecting cause, measure, metric, location, age, sex, and year, then exporting CSV. Direct URL export is not stable; record your selections.
• Distinguish Number, Rate (per 100,000), and Percent metrics. Most two-decimal questions want the rate.

Rounding

When a task says "two decimal places", round half up from the full-precision value, not from a value already rounded in a dashboard. Record both the raw and rounded values on the task page.
