- Relevance: Can the indicator be brought into strong association with one or
several issues of one of the four key dimensions? Will the indicator be able to
detect and display a variation that is important enough to warrant further
investigation? Due to its importance, this criterion was double-weighted.
- Validity & embeddedness: Does the indicator indeed measure what it claims to
measure? Is it not confounded by other factors? I.e. does the measure adequately
represent all facets of a concept? How well is it embedded in the overall concept?
- Availability and accessibility of data: Is time-series data available? In which
intervals? Is data accessible in the first place? The higher the interval, the more
useful the data!
- Comparability: Is aggregated comparable across all EU member states plus
Norway? I.e. are all countries in the EU covered by the indicator?
