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.

• (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.

Transforming our World

ggim.un.org
• 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.
