A. We are developing minimum statistical standards that indicators must meet. Indicator sources that do not provide sufficient descriptive information will not be able to contribute indicators to the HIW. Data that do not meet minimum standards of reliability will be suppressed. To enable users to evaluate the indicators, the warehouse will provide detailed metadata, describing the definition, data sources, and limitations for each indicator and, where applicable, measures of variability.
