Chuck Humphrey University of Alberta RDC CFI Projects Building the next generation of metadata tools

The Priorities of the RDC Academic Directors (set November 2005) 1. Create an RDC Intranet connecting all RDCs and branches through secure, dedicated T1 lines (~$1 million). 2. Replace the servers and workstations within the RDC Network four years from now (~$1.3 million). 3. Increase the discoverability of and access to data in the RDCs through rich metadata (~$1.7 million).

Three Metadata Projects The Academic Directors sought to solve three problems: 1. How do we solve the unusable state of the data documentation in the RDCs, which can be best characterized as huge PDF files repeated for every cycle of a survey. The scale of the data documentation makes a print-based format impractical. 2. How do we capture and make available user knowledge about the data acquired from working with the data? How do we build a user knowledge database about the data? 3. How do we discover related variables across cycles within a survey or across surveys? How can we more easily discover comparable variables across surveys?

Project 1: Create Metadata Create DDI compliant metadata for the existing 50 survey titles in the RDCs now and another 50 titles anticipated over the next four years. This project involves separate production and software development tasks. The metadata will be generated through the production task; a metadata editing tool supporting DDI 3 will be an output of the software development task.

Project 2: Capturing User Feedback The concept of user feedback fits within the life cycle model of research but hasnt been defined in DDI V3. This project will involve two tasks. The first will be to specify the elements of a new module for user feedback, building upon the modular nature of DDI V3. The second will be to develop a simple tool that is not intrusive for capturing and tagging user feedback.

Project 3: Discovering Comparability Rich metadata will facilitate the discovery of related variables across cycles within a survey or across surveys. This project will develop tools for analyzing the metadata that allow researchers to maintain their focus on the conceptual nature of their research questions while letting the tools explore the operational details of working with the data.

Next Steps A two-day meeting in Montreal on January with a dozen organizations that have invested in social science metadata. The objectives will be to (a) review the social science metadata landscape in terms of standards and tools and (b) to explore ways of collaborating across institutions. Staff the Metadata Project Manager position and develop RFPs for the projects.
