Abstract:
|
The development of web 2.0 and other Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are creating a revolution in the way in which information is produced and shared among different interest groups and individuals. Concepts like "collective intelligence," "crowd sourcing" and "prosumers" are at the basis of successful initiatives like Wikipedia, Innocentive, Facebook and other platforms used to develop both free and fee products and services widely appreciated, especially by new generations. How are these trends affecting the statistical world? Can "official" data providers continue to play their role just introducing new ICT tools without changing their business model? In this paper some experiences of the OECD in the use of innovative communication tools will be highlighted. We will also discuss where the value added of statistics comes from in the new environment.
