  2. Background • Annual in-depth reviews by CES • Summarise international work • Identify challenges • Propose a way forward

  3. Criteria for establishing a review Information society, science, technology & innovation

  4. Statistical developments • Statistical frameworks are well developed and integrated on the economic dimension • System of National Accounts (SNA08) • SNA08 eventually will be adopted worldwide • Capitalisation of R&D in National Accounts • OECD Innovation Strategy • OECD Handbook on Deriving Capital Measures of Intellectual Property Products • Oslo Manual • Frascati Manual

  6. Statistical developments • Challenges include: • Measuring effort & impact; • Definitions, mappings and relationships; • Public sector innovation • Integration as part of broader social, economic and environmental statistics • Exploiting the full potential of existing data • Supporting key research & analytical questions (e.g. integrated collections)

  7. Coordination issues? • There is a lot of activity in this field • International groups & committees • Localised activity across countries • What can we do better to harvest the fruits of these efforts? • Avoid reinventing the wheel … or inventing different wheels …

  8. Terms of Reference • Important to focus on specific issues to maximise benefits of the review

  9. Proposing a way forward • Agree on Terms of Reference • Agree on timetable • Assign authors to specific components • Report back

  10. Discussion • Co-ordination of activities; • Gaps in measuring the information society; • Scope for CES to provide an organisational map of activity; • Document a recommended way forward in measuring statistics on the Information Society, Science, Technology and Innovation
