3. October 2008, Bled3Marja Tammilehto-Luode Objectives of proposal to develop an infrastructure for the compilation of small area statistics, to develop harmonised building blocks for small area and regional statistics to describe and harmonise methods for compilation of small area statistics to offer spatial statistics to meet the demands of the INSPIRE to develop common specifications for the production of harmonised, comparable spatial data -guidelines on the methods for producing the data, -descriptions of the production process, -descriptions of characteristics of the final dataset, -guidelines on data protection

4. October 2008, Bled4Marja Tammilehto-Luode Background to the Proposal Tandem project 2001, 2003: two major ways to compile grid based statistics aggregation and disaggregation methods it may be possible to produce grid data for the whole of Europe by developing and harmonising these two methods target: due regard to confidentiality, consistent and comparable European-wide territorial population data on different scales and territorial levels.
