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
