15. STATISTICS DIRECTORATE - INTERNATIONAL TRADE & STRUCTURAL BUSINESS STATISTICS 15 Directions for further research automatisationFurther the automatisation of the calculation/compilation process of the indicators allowing more regular and consistent updates of all indicators. Dynamic links and automatic update procedures have been tested but need to be integrated in the new working environment. The ultimate goal would be that indicators are automatically recalculated and/or updated when basic data changes. This process would, nevertheless, need a validation routine to avoid accidental release. advanced visualisation optionsDevelopment of advanced visualisation options (e.g. dynamic time axis on which the progress and changing size of country indicators are visualised through time, thus integrating the temporal dynamics). more micro trade indicators for servicesStill more Trade in Services data is needed containing cross tabulations by products and partner countries (enabling more micro trade indicators for services) “trade plus”As TIP has been originally designed as set of indicators including “trade plus” indicators, it is still envisaged to add more indicators capable to shed light on globalisation patterns. Aspects such as production, employment, FDI/FATS, intra-firm trade and the role of multinationals need to be integrated into the TIP. A 2nd Roundtable Meeting on Trade Indicators in 2007 is proposed to provide steerage for this process. Trade Indicators on enterprise-characteristics-levelLinkage exercises of customs sources with enterprise structural statistics, as discussed at the 1st Steering Group Meeting in Ottawa in more detail, will hopefully allow building up Trade Indicators on enterprise-characteristics-level. The aim would be to have an OECD-wide set of indicators, comparable to and consistent with EU statistics
