IHE Demographic Data Server Information Page

Project Overview

The demographic Data Server is a tool that generates random demographic informations, including address information.

When running a test we often need to inject demographic data. The aim of the tool is to generate the necessary data.

Generated data are fictious (not real) but looks like real data. Demographic characteristics consist of

  • a name, last name,
  • date of birth,
  • sex,
  • religion,
  • race
  • address

The address consists of the street, town, state, zip code and country.

Addresses are randomly generated. We use the geonames database and googlemaps geocoding webservices in order to generate random addresses or more specific research. Generated addresses contains zip code information, matching the city name.

Currently generated demographic information can be generated for the United-States, France, Germany and Japan. We are working on including data for more countries. Demographic Dataserver is taking into account information about the frequency of firstname, lastname, race and religion.

The Demographic Data Server provides a Web User interface as well as a Web Service interface
