A Graphical User Interface for Microdata Protection Which Provides Reproducibility and Interactions: the sdcMicro GUI

Matthias Templ, Thomas Petelin — Transactions on Data Privacy, 2

Abstract

This paper presents an early graphical user interface for the sdcMicro package that combines interactive operation with full reproducibility. Users can apply and adjust disclosure-control methods through a GUI while the system records the underlying R commands, so an entire anonymisation session can be re-executed and audited. This bridges the gap between point-and-click convenience and the reproducibility that official statistics requires. Published in Transactions on Data Privacy, it foreshadows the later sdcApp interface and reflects a long-running emphasis on making SDC both accessible and auditable.
