Cooperations
The Research Data Center of the IQB (The Institute of Quality Development in Education) and IDSC completed a plausibility study in 2008 regarding the use of JoSuA for the purpose of offering datasets from the IQB inventory for computing from afar. The two centers are to formalize this cooperation into a concrete one year pilot project, which will soon begin. Besides catering to the traditional research customer of IQB, the purpose of this cooperation is to investigate the possibility of sharing information with other research areas including labor economics. Abstracts for the datasets involved can be found here.
ROA (Research Centre for Education and the Labour Market) and IDSC have begun a cooperation centered around two datasets from ROA. IDSC will host and promote the datasets as well as work together with ROA on documenting them in a standard way.
There are several layers of cooperation between IZA, IDSC and the Research Data Center of IAB (Institut für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung OR Institute for Employment Research). These include dataset documentation and the preparation of these into English, and the use of JoSuA at IAB.
The new DDI 3.0 standard allows reuse of already described concepts, questions, etc. by referencing them. This requires that all these items be uniquely identified. Existing technology to allow retrieval of the identified items will not be able to deal with such a large amount of identifiers. IZA and DANS (Data Archiving and Networked Services) helped specify a solution that uses DNS to deal with this scale-problem. Together they plan to build a proof-of-concept that demonstrates this solution.
GESIS and the IDSC jointly organize EDDI, the Annual European DDI User Group meeting.EDDI 09 takes place on December 4 at IDSC. The DDI alliance is to sponsor a one day DDI workshop taught by Wendy Thomas on December 3 at IDSC.
The cooperation with the RDC of the RV has so far involved documentation streamlining: translations from German to English and production of DDI metadata containers.
