Main Topics Discussed • Country presentations • Production process: Today / In the future • Registration of experiences • Portal for official statistics • Education of users / WEB-schools
Other Topics Discussed • Free of charge / chargeable • “The Swedish dilemma”: how to forecast the demand in order to determine your pricing (mainly concerning special compilations) • Same dilemma in other countries, too
Main Conclusions and Recommendations (1) Production process: Today / In the future • The future lies in XML-based dissemination • Web-services based on standardised routines are planned / discussed by all CSO’s
Main Conclusions and Recommendations (2) Registration experiences • Registration should be voluntary • Standing orders (subscriptions) need registration • A web-based automatic system is needed (as opposed to manual)
Main Conclusions and Recommendations (3) Portal for official statistics • Web-services, not only links • In the future, the CSO’s role as co-ordinator for official statistics is required • Makes all statistics easy to find • We should be - or at least try to be - one step ahead of the users
Main Conclusions and Recommendations (4) Education of users / WEB Schools • The Finnish experience: the English version of the Web School on the internet will be available by the end of the year 2005 • The Swedish example: The Class Room - Klassrummet • The Estonian example: The School Corner • It is important to educate future users of statistics!
