GSIM sprint

GSIM V1.0 will enable

• Common, agreed terminology– So we can share and reduce the burden…

• Moving away from subject oriented production– Industrial, not artisanal

• Support for broad-based data capture– Enable use of surveys, administrative data, the data explosion

• Support for all dissemination channels• Consistent with existing standards and

approaches– GSBPM, CORE, ISO 11179, Neuchâtel, DDI, SDMX
