UNdata Databases
Since its foundation, the United Nations system has been collecting
statistical information from member states on a variety of topics. The
information thus collected constitutes a considerable information asset
of the organization. However, these statistical data are often stored in
proprietary databases, each with unique dissemination and access
policies. As a result, users are often unaware of the full array of statistical
information that the UN system has in its data libraries. The current
arrangement also means that users are required to move from one database
to another to access different types of information. UNdata addresses this
problem by datapooling major UN databases and those of several other
international organizations into one single Internet environment. The
innovative design allows a user to access a large number of UN databases
either by browsing the data series or through a keyword search.
