Statistical data combined with location information can provide critical knowledge through the integration with other data in the data ecosystem to understand multi-faceted issues of the current society. To address the information needs of the users in an increasingly complex and intertwined society, there is a great need for statistical data to be geospatially enabled using consistent and common geographies, in an accessible and usable format.
The production of geospatially enabled statistics should be a routine operation for statistical organisations, not just one-off exercise. The crisis such as global pandemic highlighted that statistical organisations should be prepared to produce them in an efficient and timely manner. To ensure this occurs, geospatial-relevant activities and considerations should be integrated into the regular production processes of statistical organisations, so that the design and production of geospatially enabled statistics can be conducted in a systematic and consistent way.
Using two global frameworks, Generic Statistical Business Process Model (GSBPM) and Global Statistical Geospatial Framework (GSGF), the Geospatial Task Team under the Supporting Standards Group of the High-Level Group on the Modernisation of Official Statistics (HLG-MOS) developed a Geospatial view of GSBPM (GeoGSBPM). It describes geospatial-related activities and considerations needed to produce geospatially enabled statistics using the structure of GSBPM while taking into account GSGF principles so that the resulting statistics have a higher level of standardisation and geospatial flexibility, as well as a greater capacity for data integration.
More details about the GeoGSBPM can be found on this wiki page.
Various Expert meetings or workshops are organized as part of the programme or work of the High-Level Group for the Modernisation of Official Statistics. These statistical process based events bring together experts to discuss innovative, best practices and future work in these areas. We welcome submission of abstracts and you can preliminary register for the events.
