presentation standards
Explanation:
Once the presentation standards were globally respected which made figures supplied by GDS companies more transparent and comparable.
I can imagine that (part of) this dispute is caused by the use of different calculation methods and presentation standards, leaving grey spots and space for difference in interpretation.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Simon March: could also be display standards as well.. but as Willem says in this case I think presentation is better suited.

  -> In some situatons yes, sure. But presentation covers both the content as the way it is shown, I think it is more to the point here.. If you agree I would appreciate your support.
agree  Kim Metzger: But her text says "the once strict standards for GDS are being relaxed or eliminated." I prefer standards for "displaying data."
