ICT, Information and Intellectual
Property Products
An overview of concepts and how they
relate to the CPC Ver. 2
United Nations Statistics Division
Background
• ISIC Rev.4 contain an alternative aggregate for an “ICT sector”
definition and a “content and media” sector definition.
• Likewise, CPC Ver.2 comes with an alternative aggregate for the
“information economy” product definition.
• These aggregates originates from the work of an OECD Working
Party working in the context of developing indicators on the
information society. (WPIIS)
• Their first ICT definition came out in 1998. Since then,
development in NAICS and later ISIC have been important for
driving the development of these sector and product definitions.
• In the development of these definitions, a number of concepts
were defined and used.
Scope of presentation
• In this presentation we will look at:
• the concepts and definitions used when talking
about the information economy.
• what they mean
• how they differ from each other
• how they interact
• How the new Central Product Classification
(CPC v2) relates to these concepts.
3
Why this presentation?
• The adoption of new ideas relating to the
“information economy” in ISIC/CPC, has caused
substantial changes in these classifications.
• introduction of new subclasses
• new concepts used in describing subclasses
• changes in structure
• Some conceptual problems in CPC v1.1 (the previous
version) and a rapid change in the actual products
• distinction between original, content and provision
services.
• emerging products

CONTENT/MEDIA SECTOR
The ICT sector
• ICT sector defined by aggregating complete
ISIC classes according to the following general
principle:
• The production (goods and services) of a
candidate industry must primarily be
intended to fulfil or enable the function of
information processing and
communication by electronic means,
including transmission and display.
• The industries considered were from
manufacturing, trade, services and repair.

CONTENT/MEDIA SECTOR
The content/media sector
• It was early recognized that the scope of the “information economy”
ought to be extended beyond that of the ICT sector.
• Content and media industries are engaged in the production, publishing
and/or the electronic distribution of content products.
• Guidelines for identifying a content or media product (OECD):
“Content corresponds to an organised message intended for human beings
published in mass communication media and related media activities. The
value of such a product to the consumer does not lie in its tangible qualities
but in its information, educational, cultural or entertainment content”
• The content/media sector are industries that create and disseminate mass
market information and cultural products; the ICT sector provides the
means for doing so.
• In ISIC 4, all of the content/media sector is contained within ISIC
section J: “Information and communication”

CONTENT/MEDIA SECTOR
Products of the Information
Economy
• When defining the products of the
Information Economy, the guiding principle
was that they should be the output of the
Information Economy sectors (ICT and
content/media).
• This approach facilitates consistency
between product statistics and industry
statistics
13
ICT products
• The ICT products (left side of diagram)
were identified as those primarily intended
to fulfil or enable the function of
information processing.
• This is generally (but not always) the
products from the ICT sector.
• The ICT product definition does not have a
specific goods/services split.

CPC?
• Some of them are neither goods nor
services, but “IP products and similar
products”
• Sections 0-4 limited to transportable goods
classified in the HS.
• These intangible goods have therefore been
classified in section 5-9, close to the services
that are outputs of the same ISIC industries as
the intangible goods.
25
Content/media products in the
CPC?
(continued)
• Originals
• Close to the related services, found in part 5-9
