The Global Statistical Geospatial Framework Integration of Statistical and Geospatial Information Overarching Principles Principle 5 (Analysis, policy impact) Demand for small geography data. More frequent data. Policy impact Principle 4 (Technical standards, data sharing) ISO Standards OGC Standards Statistics Principles Principle 3 (Output geographies ) Standard geographic administrative boundaries (province, municipality, etc.). Tips: High-level framework Not a one-size-fits-all Start anywhere Principle 2 (Unique identifiers) No PIN. Link mainly through the geography. Geography not always standardised. Principle 1 (NSDI, Seamless integration) Policies More institutional Political leadership and support
