Through its standard definitions, it will also allow for the production of internationally comparable data.   The culture is defined in the UNESCO Framework for Cultural Statistics as follows: a set of distinctive spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional features of society or a social group, and that it encompasses, in addition to art and literature, lifestyles, ways of living together, value systems, traditions and beliefs. Whereas it is not always possible to measure such beliefs and values directly, it is possible to measure associated behaviors and practices.  UNESCO Framework for Cultural Statistics and relevant domains.
