The Framework for Cultural Statistics (FCS) is a tool for organizing cultural statistics both nationally and internationally. It is based on a conceptual foundation and a common understanding of culture that will enable the measurement of a wide range of cultural expressions irrespective of the particular economic and social mode of its production. Through its standard definitions, it will also allow for the production of internationally comparable data.
