WP 3: Data Quality Alexia Katsanidou alexia.katsanidou@gesis.org

Objectives to establish a trust environment and a joint data metadata domain based on well-established AAI principles to establish a widely used tool/services portal and setup a framework for testing, evaluating and commenting on tools/services to spread information about useful components to define typical processing chains, test them based on existing technology and spread the information about how to create and use them to create an interoperability framework based on typical use cases to create a data enrichment framework suitable for SSH researchers

Description Leader: City University London. Resources 145 PM Task 1: assess the biggest problems resulting in quality problems of data and identify cross-community solutions Task 2: improve the quality issues around cross-national European surveys and carry out development and curation by introducing computer-assisted methods using state-of-the-art technologies Task 3: provide multi-language questionnaire and documentation frameworks to improve the quality of survey data in a multilingual European scenario Task 4: improve the quality issues around metadata generation and curation
