10. Needs of National Statistical Institutes – as suppliers and as users
Data dissemination should be timely and respect the copyright and confidentiality aspects of the data
Metadata should be included
The work "behind the data" should be valorised.
Conflicting interest may arise if a data producer wishes to sell the data on a profit-oriented basis
More suggestions?

11. Content I.
Profiles: short overview of the latest data from key indicators per area (region or city), displaying the exact value and the quintile position. A short description of the area, written in a "statistical language" – limited to facts.
Table-Graph-Map interface: covering regions and also cities (not together with the regions). In case of the cities statistical maps on sub-city district level should be available.
