Following a previous detailed study of unpolarized generalized parton distribution functions in the non-singlet sector, and at zero values of the skewness variable, ζ, we propose a physically motivated parametrization that is valid at ζ≠ 0. Our method makes use of information from the nucleon form factor data, from deep inelastuc scattering parton distribution functions, and from lattice results on the Mellin moments of generalized parton distributions. It provides, therefore, a step towards a model independent extraction of generalized distributions from the data, alternative to the mathematical ansatz of double distributions. Comparisons with recent experimental data on the proton are shown.
