15 Main challenges ahead Verification of all implemented tests Verification of sampling and aggregation Finalize EIAO User interface Continuous collection and maintenance of URLs with automatic categorisation Create sustainable organisation for Observatory 15 15

16 Collection of URLs Several strategies are pursued DMOZ.org National directories Other existing directories Lists used in other surveys Crawl online directories Combine existing lists So far best result for EIAO purpose from national directories in some countries DMOZ.org promising for wider community effort NUTS and NACE categorisation remains 16 16
