  • What's the cat. no. 8731.0, ABS Ausstats? Is that the 'Name of site sponsor'?

  • That's the full description of the online citation. It seems to be the name of the site's sponsor which is australian statistics.

I am not familiar with the "Oxford Style" guide and therefore do not believe that there is a single "standard" style. I think Oxford style has a footnote in text citation and a reference list. This makes it similar to Chicago style. While I do not have the CMS to check, Prudue OWL has a nice comparison of MLA, APA, and CMS (all of which have comprehensive and standardized style guides). In CMS it doesn't seem to be a problem since you are using a footnote for the in text citation and the reference list doesn't require an author or date for webpages.
