What is the UN-GGIM? United Nations Global Geospatial Information Management (UN-GGIM) A global initiative started in 2011 An Inter-Governmental Mechanism spearheaded by the United Nations which seeks to guide the making of joint decisions and set directions on the production and use of geospatial information within national and global policy frameworks. Purpose of UN-GGIM Working with Governments to improve policy, institutional arrangements, and legal frameworks; Addressing global issues and contributing collective knowledge as a community with shared interests and concerns Developing effective strategies to build geospatial capacity in the developing countries

Purpose Articulate the critical role of standards in geospatial information management; Inform policy makers and program managers in Member States of the value in using and investing in geospatial standardization; and Describe the benefits of using “open” geospatial standards to achieve standardization, data sharing, and interoperability goals. To help everyone better understand what standards to use, when and why.

What, Why & How What is a Standard? Why are Standards important? What is an “open standard”? Why are Open Standards valuable? How are standards developed?

5/108 – August 2015 (b) Adopted the final published “Guide to the Role of Standards in Geospatial Information Management” and the “Technical Compendium” as the international geospatial standards best practice for spatial data infrastructure, and encouraged all Member States to adopt and implement the recommended standards appropriate to their countries’ level of spatial data infrastructure (SDI) maturity.

Joint Study Group Building on the strong cooperation between the Standards Development Organisations, ISO, IHO and OGC will convene a JSG to review the SDGs and indicators The JSG will: Identify relevant existing supporting geospatial standards and identify gaps in the existing geospatial standards architecture that may need to be developed Invite the relevant ISO statistics committees in particular with ISO/TC69 – Statistical Methodologies and ISO/TC 154 - Processes, data elements and documents in commerce, industry and administration (SDMX standard) Invite members and observers of the UNGGIM to participate in the JSG in particular from the Expert Group on the Integration of Statistical and Geospatial Information The JSG will report back to the UNGGIM at its next meeting.

Statistics in GGIM Expert Group on the Integration of Statistical and Geospatial Information From report of 5th Meeting Emphasised again that statistical and geospatial communities are major contributors of information used for evidence-based decision making across many sectors, whether public or private at national and global levels. In this context, the Committee highlighted the opportunity with implementation of the 2030 development agenda and the ongoing debate in disaster risk reduction, and stressed that increased institutional coordination and cooperation between the geospatial and statistical agencies, as well as other stakeholders, is vitally important and a key factor to the success of data integration;

Global Statistical Spatial Framework Based on: Statistical Spatial Framework (Australia) Generic Statistical Business Process Model (GSBPM) INEGI (Mexico) national institution model http://ggim.un.org/docs/meetings/3rd%20UN-EG-ISGI/Proposal-for-a-global-statistical-geospatial-framework.pdf

DGGS Discrete Global Grid Systems (DGGS) Recommended to be included as part of the SSF – Statistical Spatial Framework November 2017 - Workshop on Integrating Geospatial & Statistical Standards which will be organized as part of the Conference of European Statisticians
