International collaboration to understand the relevance of Big Data for official statistics
Abstract
This paper describes international collaboration activities to help the official statistical community to better understand the phenomenon of ``Big Data'', and how it might impact on statistical production. This work is taking the form of annual projects, overseen by the High-Level Group for the Modernisation of Statistical Production and Services, a group of ten heads of national and international statistical organisations. The results obtained during 2014 are presented, and the paper looks forward to the planned activities in 2015.
