1. WP 3: Data Quality
Alexia Katsanidou

2. 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

3. 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

6. WP3 Task 3 – Fieldwork Monitoring System
Task: “To build up and computerize a fieldwork monitoring system for cross-national surveys which can centrally manage their distributed fieldwork, helping to optimize response rates and data quality”
3 Components:
Tool Data collection, Sample-Management
Data Paradata, Indicators
Monitoring Reports, Intervention strategies etc.

7. Dataflow for Monitoring in SHARE
CentERdata
CAPI
SMS
Technical Exports/Flat Files
Keystrokes
FTP

8. Requirement Need Survey
Different groups of survey practitioners:
Agencies that conduct both SHARE and the ESS (CAPI)
Agencies that conduct the ESS only (using CAPI)
Agencies that conduct the ESS only (using PAPI)
Topics:
Agency procedures: field force, current system of sample management, training
Technical requirements: availability of equipment (laptop/tablets/smartphones), technical expertise
Monitoring: quality checks, procedures
Perspective of the country teams

9. Case Management Tool Draft Demo: CMT app programmed by CentERdata

10. Milestones Design of a standardized SMS (June 2013)
Preparing paradata set (June 2013)
Report on keystroke analysis (Dec 2014)
Fieldwork monitoring application (Dec 2014)

11. Who to speak to? Johanna Bristle (SHARE) Sally Widdop (City)
Verena Halbherr (GESIS)

12. Taking the message beyond DASISH
Contributions to WP8 quantitative workshops
Sessions on each theme of the WP: occupation; databases for metadata; fieldwork management systems
representation from other social surveys: ISSP, GSS, GGP, Eurobarometer, EVS
Aim to maintain inter-survey networks
