Yeah, I was pretty much certain that was the case. I'm just trying to
think about various international "data inputs" to GIS related to
social/demographic data and wondered if there was any census data
standards emerging in the EU or elsewhere or if all countries appear to
be doing this differently.

Thanks for your answers (Ari and Gary)

Cheers
Charlie
