Within the framework of the research project Data Stations, the Dutch Dental Association (NMT) periodically collects data about the care dentists render to patients, about the way in which they run their practices, and about views and/or wishes of dentists with regard to (current) issues within the dental profession. This paper focuses on the motives underlying the decision of the NMT to undertake the Data Stations Project, and on the way this project is organized. Particular attention will be given to the types of data and the kinds of information this project produces.
