The document discusses the European Commission's efforts to standardize data visualization tools on its websites. It describes how maps and charts were previously scattered across various applications with different data formats and licenses. To improve synergies and reduce costs, the EC is implementing corporate standards for maps and charts. For maps, it settled on Leaflet with integrated GIS data from Eurostat. For charts, it selected FusionCharts as the standard tool, with Eurostat data available via a JSON format. The standards create a more coherent web presence and centralized maintenance.
