That is really up to the data provider. You want the granularity to would 
help users find what they want. To take the OECD MEI example again, users 
generally do not look for national accounts or the MEI, they look for a

So yes, I would create 148,000 templates, neatly organized by data 
providers, and possibly make create several collections for some 
providers.
