Abstract

The main coverage of statistical information systems to be applied in international organisations providing statistical data, and advantages of basing upon such information systems in fulfilling the aims of those inter­national organisations is the core of investigation. For that, the pre- sent-day standard of applications, depending mainly upon the United Nation's Guidelines for Information Systems Architecture was initially surveyed. Afterwards, to provide a comprehensive example, the statistical information system of SESRTCIC (Statistical, Economic and Social Research and Training Centre for Islamic Countries) was taken into account The treatment of SESRTCIC example resulted in certain evaluations and suggestions, which were also expounded among the conclusive remarks.

Keywords: Statistical data, Statistical information system, United Nations' Guidelines, SESRTCIC
