Hider's main points

I believe Hider's main points to be:
-that information should be easy to use for everyone involved; rules/guidelines/agreements should be followed to make this so.
- we now get information from all over the world, and it is constantly changing, so it is important that we have high standards and work together to organise it.
- we need to ensure that our systems are user friendly, responsive and readily available and that data is easy to understand, so that users are not restricted from accessing information.
