The bar has been raised!

7. 21.10.2019 Tryggvi Björgvinsson – Statistics Iceland 7
What about the statistical offices?

8. 21.10.2019 Tryggvi Björgvinsson – Statistics Iceland 8
Yo Iceland, what’s your problem?
• Methodologies measure means
not the end
• Size does not allow required
granularity
• Unfocused and sporadic efforts
• Not properly resourced

9. 21.10.2019 Tryggvi Björgvinsson – Statistics Iceland 9
What should we do?
• Look at what is being measured and
improve
• Think about future steps like linked
data
• Federal governments need to step in
• PX to DCAT to data portals
• Joint effort of NSOs to measure
transparency/openness

10. Thank you!
