Information management as tool for standardization in statistics
We describe the role of information management in redesign programs: why it is needed, how it is at present being developed through international cooperation in the Generic Statistical Information Model (GSIM) project, and we give some examples how information management has been used in practice at Statistics Netherlands. We conclude that GSIM is necessary for more extensive usage of big data sources, for interoperability of statistical tools and for sharing tools between NSIs.
