groups: infrastructural indicators, indicators on the use of ICT in enterprises, and indicators on the access and use of ICT in households and by individuals. The list of indicators for measuring the success of the DAE strategy is provided in Annex 4. In Slovenia, the data methodologically comparable at the European level are collected by the Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia (SORS), who then communicates the data to Eurostat. Statistically processed, methodologically harmonised and internationally comparable data for the Member States are published at the Eurostat website6. The data arranged by DAE chapters are also publicly available at the EC website "Digital Agenda Scoreboard"7. To assess the development of EU Member States in the digital economy and society, the EC developed the composite Digital Economy and Society Index – DESI. The index summarises a series of indicators based on five characteristics: connectivity, human capital, use of the internet, integration of digital technology, and digital public services. According to the digital economy and society index that the EC published for 2015, Slovenia ranks 19th among 28 EU Member States. Detailed information is available at the DAE scoreboard website. Another important indicator for the development of the information society is a broader political awareness of the importance of ICT and the opportunities of the digital economy, which is reflected in the importance of this area for the government, clearly defined strategic guidelines and measures for accelerated development of the digital economy in the overarching national strategic documents and budgetary resources earmarked for the measures in the field. A more detailed report on the state of development of the information society in Slovenia in 2014, which is presented in Annex 2, is based primarily on statistics, reports and analyses published on the DAE Scoreboard and on the SORS data. A detailed description of the situation in the EU and in Slovenia is provided in Annex 3. 6 7 http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/portal/page/portal/eurostat/home/ http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/digital-agenda/scoreboard/index_en.htm 8 DIGITAL SLOVENIA 2020 - Development strategy for the information society until 2020
