The government has been investing in publications and statistics in the field of electronic communication for years, but the rapid changes in ICT make it difficult to capture in conventional statistics. Therefore, Dialogic is conducting research on behalf of the Ministry of Economic Affairs into the use of the internet as a data source. This involves learning to make smart use of data on and from the internet, such as raw data, traffic data, internet statistics, data from various providers, and unofficial parties that publish data, indicators and statistics. Ultimately, this alternative set of data, indicators and statistics could form a second pillar alongside the current set of official statistics.
The client is the Ministry of Economic Affairs. The project team includes Pim den Hertog, Ronald Batenbrug, Robbin te Velde, and Reg Brennenraedts. The research is carried out in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Sjaak Brinkkemper (Professor of Information Science at the Center for Organization and Information - Utrecht University) and Dr. Slinger Jansen (PhD candidate at the Center for Organization and Information - Utrecht University).
