Statistical information in the Internet in small infobites (>) ? Yearly statistics are a good example Telecommunications 2004 - 2005 - 2006 Good: information can be published quicker small infobites for quick use easy bites for google to find Bad: but where is the whole picture? no publication to identify what to archive from what date to calculate the speed of statistics? Markku Huttunen 7.2.2008

Statistical information in the Internet in extensive publications? What is the challenge to allow quick publishing of information to maintain a clear extensive package in a form of ”publication”, where all information of that reference time is to be found the publication must be arhivable, it must be unambiguously identifiable and referenceable so it should be a publication, which can be published in different dates, yet it should be clearly identifiable as one publication containing all relevant information of a certain reference time in one extensive and unambiguous package Answer is a multi-volume publication? ”An ISBN must be assigned to the whole set of volumes of a multi-volume work. In addition to this each individual volume must be assigned its own ISBN.” (>) Example: ISBN 978-951-638-500-9 (whole set); ISBN 978-951-638-501-6 (part 1); ISBN 978-951-638-502-3 (part 2) Markku Huttunen 7.2.2008
