description

The measurement of culture in statistical systems is a rather new endeavor. In international comparison, considerable differences exist in classifications and indicators. This article provides an overview of definitional and classificatory approaches as well as transnational attempts of harmonizing cultural statistics. In particular, statistical systems and databases are introduced with regard to the cultural industries, artists, and cultural producers, organizations responsible for the dissemination of culture, and consumers and recipients of culture.
