WP4 Communication and promotion
WP3 Open data dissemination
WP1 User analysis

3. Context: DIGICOM ESS Vision 2020 project
Some actions implemented by NSIs (18 involved)
Some actions directly implemented by Eurostat
WP4 includes piloting experimental statistics

4. What has been done so far?
Check national experience (UK, NL, NZ)
Draft policy and prepare mock-up

5. Experimental statistics – what is it?
Not the the same level of maturity
Use of innovative sources (big data) or methods
Their quality cannot be assured to the same extent as for European statistics

6. Publishing experimental statistics – why?
To reply faster to specific data needs
To seek feedback from users and the scientific community
Share methodology at an early stage = Open the kitchen!

7. Experimental data: dissemination principles
Use of a clearly distinguishing logo
Specific place on the website: dedicated section
But several dissemination tools possible
Good explanation on the method
Encouraging feedback
