New guide linking hosts, reports, and data types

You loved our recent guide comparing reports to standard views. Tasha’s put together a similar document for you, on another tricky question. As we say in the Friendly Guide to Attributes, Elements and other Techy Things,

“Not strictly either an Attribute or an Element, Host Types are an essential part of the Code of Practice: a publisher platform’s Host Type determines which reports it must deliver, based on the kind of content it offers. Some platforms have mixtures of content types, so they fit into multiple Host Types.”

But how do Host Types link not only to the COUNTER Reports they need to provide, but also to valid Data_Types for the platform? In this new comparison guide, we’ve laid it all out for you.
