This is the report that is making headlines in Canada (
http://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/social-issues-migration-health/the-causes-of-growing-inequalities-in-oecd-countries_9789264119536-en).
This is how reports should be shared with the public:

   - You get a full PDF
   - You get and interactive table of contents with the document also
   available by section in PDF and readable
   - You get the tables available in xls and to read
   - You get the graphs in xls which you can also read


When I go to open data portals, this is what I would expect to get.  All
datasets should at least be accompanied by a methodological document which
describes how the data were collected, how they were analyzed, sources,
descriptions of the headings/classes, quality parametes well described.
Also all government reports should be in the portals with their
accompanying datasets as this OECD report does.

Cheers
