SIBIS

SIBIS

SIBIS (Statistical Indicators Benchmarking the Information Society) was a project in the "Information Society Programme" of the European Commission (IST-2000-26276) which ran from January 2001 to September 2003.

Its aim was to develop "innovative information society indicators to take account of the rapidly changing nature of modern societies and to enable the benchmarking of progress in EU Member States" in an Information Society.

It filled a gap in the existing official statistics which focused more on the "economic and social systems typical of a Europe emerging from World War II, when manufacturing dominated over services, tangible assets over intangibles and traditional over flexible employment models."

The indicators thus collected were then tested and piloted in surveys in the then-10 EU member states, 10 Acceding and Candidate countries, Switzerland and the USA.

The SIBIS project was wound up in September 2003 after publishing its findings in a series of reports.
