Vital Statistics Procedures

Use when

• You need official civil/vital-statistics procedural context.
• You need structured extraction from published procedure materials.

Avoid when

• You need person-level registry data.

Inputs

• Procedure topic, legal context, and period.

Outputs

• Structured procedure references, responsibilities, and workflow notes.

Primary endpoints

• Vital statistics procedures: https://www.siseministeerium.ee/en/activities/population-procedures/vital-statistics-procedures

Workflow

1. Locate relevant procedure/legal guidance pages.
2. Extract process steps, roles, and official references.
3. Normalize terminology across documents.
4. Return structured process map with citations.

Human setup (when needed)

• If procedures reference external forms/registries, guide user through obtaining those materials and continue from them.

Quality checks

• Keep process/legal references linked to each step.
• Separate administrative procedure from statistical outputs.

Access reality

• Public access type: UI page with direct downloadable files.
• Verification run: 2026-02-24.
• https://www.siseministeerium.ee/en/activities/population-procedures/vital-statistics-procedures (HTTP 200, text/html;, file links detected: 1)

Request contract

• Use the listed primary endpoints as authoritative entry points.
• If API/query parameters are only visible in-browser, preserve exact request URL, params, and headers in output metadata.
• If endpoint is UI-only, document click path and extraction method used.

Output schema expectations

• Keep at least: source URL, retrieval timestamp, publication/update date (if available), title/record label, and extracted governance-relevant fields.
• Preserve original field names when present in downloadable/API output.

Limits and caveats

• Confirm whether data is open-download, UI-only, or authenticated before claiming full access.
• Separate narrative/guidance text from measurable records.

Verification hooks

• Validate endpoint reachability and content type before extraction.
• Validate that each extracted claim is linked to a concrete source URL.
