ICTlogy

A merger of Digital Opportunity Index and the ICT Opportunity Index, it takes from the DOI Indicators related to households, Indicators related to broadband and simple and easy to understand methodology and presentation (goalposts). On the other hand, it takes rom the ICT-OI, Indicators related to skills (also included in the DAI), Normalization method (distance to a reference value) and Digital divide analysis and methodology (as an application of the IDI).

What has been added/modified:

• The conceptual framework, based on a basic three-stage information society model (readiness-use-impact).
• The use of principal components analysis (PCA) to eliminate indicators that have less influence on the index calculation.

First published in Measuring the Information Society - The ICT Development Index 2009, it is not the same thing as the ICT Diffusion Index that was later also called ICT Development Index.
