Introduction 

The United Nations has Registered Several "Standards." See Classification Registry

The United Nations have Registrar many Standards for comparing statistics between countries. The following Standards will be used in this Project. 

Country and Area Codes

• Standard Country or Area Codes for Statistical Use, Revision 4 (M 49, Rev.4)

Economic Activities 

• International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities, Revision 3.1 (ISIC Rev. 3.1)
• General Industrial Classification of Economic Activities within the European Communities (NACE) Related
• Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC)
• National Occupational Classification (NOC).  The National Occupational Classification (NOC) is the nationally accepted reference on occupations in Canada. It organizes over 30,000 job titles into 520 occupational group descriptions. It is used daily by thousands of people to compile, analyze and communicate information about occupations, and to understand the jobs found throughout Canada's labour market

With Attempts to map to the NAICS 

• International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC)
• The North American Industry Classification System Canada 1997 (NAICS-Canada 1997)
• The North American Industry Classification System - Mexico (NAICS-Mex)
• The North American Industry Classification System US (NAICS-US)
• Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification 1993 (ANZSIC)
• Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community (NACE Rev.1)
• Activity Classification of AFRISTAT Member States (NAEMA)

Employment and  Occupation

With additional added codes for detail

• International Family of Economic and Social Classifications (United Nations Statistics Division)

• International Classification of Status in Employment (ICSE-93)

• International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities, Third Revisuion (ISIC, Rev 3)

• International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO-88)
• Standard Occupation classification (SOC) (2000) List of Occupations The 2010 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system is used by Federal statistical agencies to classify workers into occupational categories for the purpose of collecting, calculating, or disseminating data. All workers are classified into one of 840 detailed occupations according to their occupational definition. To facilitate classification, detailed occupations are combined to form 461 broad occupations, 97 minor groups, and 23 major groups. Detailed occupations in the SOC with similar job duties, and in some cases skills, education, and/or training, are grouped together.

Expenditures according to Purpose

• Classifications of the Functions of Government (COFOG)
• Classification of Individual Consumption According to Purpose (COICOP)
• Classification of the Purposes of Non-Profit Institutions Serving Households (COPNI)
• Classification of the Outlays of Producers According to Purpose (COPP)

Education

With additional added codes for detail

• International Standard Classification of Education 1997 (ISCED 1997)

Languages

(from the Ethnologfue Web site)

ISO 639, Code for the representation of names of languages (Geneva, International Organization for Standardization, 1998), is the most widely known standard for language identification codes. Part 1 of the standard defines 160 two-letter codes for identifying individual languages. Part 2 of the standard defines three-letter codes for 381 languages (including all those covered in Part 1). In addition, it defines 55 "collective" codes which are used to cover languages that do not have individual codes. With the inclusion of a catch-all code for "miscellaneous languages", part 2 of the standard is designed to assign one of its 400+ codes to any language of the world. The authoritative on-line version of the standard may be found at:

• ISO 639-2 Registration Authority — Library of Congress

The Ethnologue system of language identifiers, by contrast, assigns a unique three-letter code to each of the 7,000+ known living and recently extinct languages of the world. Because this set of language codes is comprehensive, it has become a de facto standard among many projects that need a unique code for every language. The complete code set used in the Ethnologue is available for download at:

• SIL Three-letter Codes for Identifying Languages

The motivation for publishing this mapping between ISO 639 language codes and the languages identified in the Ethnologue is two-fold:

• First, since both the ISO 639 and SIL code sets are widely used, many are interested in making the two code sets interoperate in applications. The mapping tables that can be downloaded below provide the basis for such interoperation.
• Second, the documentation in ISO 639 that defines what each language code stands for consists of little more than a name in English and French. We trust that users of that standard will be well served by this online publication that gives a more precise definition of the language (or languages) covered by any given ISO 639 code. The reports on individual ISO 639 codes can, in fact, be accessed in custom applications by using a URL of the form,

  http://www.ethnologue.com/show_iso639.asp?code=x

  where x represents any two- or three-letter code from ISO 639.
