To produce official statistics a set of processes needs to be followed, such as those described in the Generic Statistical Business Process Model (GSBPM). However, as well as processes also information about flows between them exists (data, metadata, rules, parameters etc.). The Generic Statistical Information Model (GSIM) aims to define and describe these information objects in a harmonized way. GSIM provides a common language to describe information that supports the whole statistical production process from the identification of user needs through to the dissemination of statistical products.
