Animated graphical display intended for an experienced user
Cycle calculation  deviation from long term trend (configurable methods for calculation (HP/CF/..)
Let us start with GDP in The Netherlands
Next upgrade: (a) graph displaying more/all countries for one or two indicators, (b) besides PEEIs also other sets, (c) clear time stamp, (d) print, save (e) animated demo which could help novice (f) more calculation methods, (g) configurable graph symbols, (h) configurable default opening (country/indicators), (i) easy administrator interface for system configuration
Uses XML as input and is based on open source Flash and falls under EUPL.
