Yes. But if you look further it is unclear that the authors of the site know what they are doing at all. Who are these people? They have a terribly designed webpage full of useless information. Their about link at http://www.oscos.org/aboutus is cheesy and tells nothing about who they really are. They have typos/nonsense on their site, like in this sentence: "Shared standards and interoperability should be the rule, no the exception any." Huh? They have a paper linked here: http://www.oscos.org/aboutus/Support%20Team The first visual in that paper is a 3-dimensional pie chart. 3d pie charts are terribly misleading -- of all ways to present data, they are one of the worst. Then on the next page they have even more bizarrely distorted pseudo-3d bar charts. Checking further reveals that the communicating author for that paper is a grad student.
