October, 2006 26
Develop infrastructures & products
Develop integrated dissemination– OECD Statistics– Branding & standardising Core Data– Develop Figures & Facts
Diversify according to user groups Cross-domain products

New opportunities
publications can be smaller and more analytically focused
new (and existing) horizontal publications integrate SourceOECD with the free
dissemination of basic statistics links between all the different ways statistics
can be viewed go immediately, e.g., from a database query to
a StatLink or a related analytical e-book fixed and dynamic tables can be stored queries
to OECD.Stat
