The Generic Activity Model for Statistical Organisations (GAMSO) describes and defines the activities that take place within a typical organisation that produces official statistics.

It extends and complements the Generic Statistical Business Process Model (GSBPM) by adding additional activities needed to support statistical production.

Generic Activity Model for Statistical Organisations (GAMSO)

The GAMSO describes activities – that is, what statistical organisations do – while the GSBPM describes the process – that is, how statistical organisations undertake the activity of statistical production.

GAMSO is an elaborate example of a Generic activity model.


There is an easy to navigate "clickable" version: Clickable GAMSO v1.2.


In the model on this page the ArchiMate Framework's Strategy elements are used to depict the GAMSO concepts and how they relate to GSBPM, GSIM and CSPA.
