Ironic indeed and our inability to provide usage stats has been a big embarassment too. One of the perils of being a first mover (SourceOECD launched at the end of 2000) is having technology with limitations in today's environment.
The good news is that our new platform, OECD iLibrary is coming along nicely and will replace our ageing SourceOECD later this summer. I'm hoping we'll be able to make an announcement about the release timetable next month.
OECD iLibrary will have Counter compliant data for our books and journals, but not for our working papers or datasets because standards do not yet exist for them! We will, however, provide usage data for all content and will continue to work with Counter on developing usage standards.
If you have questions, do contact your usual OECD vendor and/or me directly.

OK many thanks. Someone off list just reminded me, with some irony, that Toby Green is the Head of Publishing at OECD and a big advocate of standardising and publishing large data sets...
Thanks to all on and off.
