Are you publishing more data than what is actually on the scorecards? I
don't think I see more at http://ihpresults.net/results/data/

Not what you asked, but possibly more importantly, why are you using a CC
BY-NC license? Is there an existing B2B revenue stream that you're trying to
protect? If not you may well do to drop the NC condition which isn't fully
open per the OKFn definition at http://www.opendefinition.org/okd/

Thanks Mike.
We are publishing more data than on the page viewed. We also have a set of
scorecards. Here is the World Bank example -
http://ihpresults.net/scorecard/partner/World%20Bank/. The overall results
column has show disaggregated tables (country level results and ratings)
when you hover over the text.

I am not sure why we used that CC licence - mainly because we were trying to
protect the design of the online scorecards I think. And possibly because we
were not sure we should be making the data (self-reported) available to use
by anyone.

Does this help?
James
