Web Index - Scores for universal access by country 2014

Designed and produced by the World Wide Web Foundation, the Web Index is the world’s first measure of the World Wide Web’s contribution to social, economic and political progress in countries across the world. http://thewebindex.org/about/
Scores are given in the areas of universal access; freedom and openness; relevant content; and empowerment.
First released in 2012, the 2014-15 Index has been expanded and refined to include a total of 86 countries and features an enhanced data set, particularly in the areas of gender, Open Data, privacy rights and censorship. The Index combines existing secondary data with new primary data derived from an evidence-based expert assessment survey.
The Web Index provides an objective and robust evidence base to inform public dialogue on the steps needed for societies to leverage greater value from the Web. It is published annually and resources permitting, it will continue to be expanded to cover more countries in the coming years. It will eventually allow for comparisons of trends over time and the benchmarking of performance across countries, continuously improving our understanding of the Web’s value for humanity.

由全球网络基金会设计并制作，网络指数是世界范围内首度衡量万维网对各国社会、经济和政治进步贡献的衡量工具。http://thewebindex.org/about/ 网络指数在普遍接入、自由与开放、相关内容以及赋权等领域的得分均予以评定。自2012年首次发布以来，2014-15年的指数经过扩展和精炼，共纳入86个国家，并包含了一个增强的数据集，尤其在性别、开放数据、隐私权利和审查等方面。网络指数将现有次级数据与基于证据的专家评估调查的新一级数据相结合。该指数提供了一项客观且坚实的证据基础，用以指导公共对话，关于社会如何利用网络创造更大价值所需的步骤。它每年出版一次，在资源允许的情况下，未来将继续扩展，覆盖更多国家。最终，它将允许对趋势进行时间上的比较，并在各国之间进行绩效基准测试，持续提升我们对网络对人类价值的理解。
