The Social Science Data Archive in Slovenia

Anthropmetric data have always been of interest for scientists. They have also great practical value for different groups of people: tailors, designers and also health care specialists. Anthropological data are different in different geographical areas and also change in time. That is why it is important to save also results of older anthropometrical measurements. In Estonia the anthropometrical measurements have been made by different researchers since the 18th century. The Group of Physical Anthropology at the University of Tartu (initiated by prof Helje Kaarma) was especially active in gathering anthropometric data. The data were saved in the Anthropometic Register. Unfortunately, the register had no financial support and so its activities stopped. In summer 2016 the group of people interested in saving the historical anthropometric data started revitalising the Register of Anthropological Data. Hopefully, it will be possible to use the Estonian Social Science Data Archive for this purpose.

Work Done

In this paper we outline the process of revising data access categories for research data sets in GESIS – a large European social science data archive based in Germany. The challenge is to create a minimal set of workable access conditions that cope with a) facilitating as “open as possible, closed as necessary” expectations for data reuse; b) map on to existing legacy access categories and conditions in a data archive. The paper covers the work done in gathering data on data access categories used by data archives in their existing data catalogues, the choices offered to depositors of data in their user agreements, and work done by other data reuse platforms in categorising access to their data. Finally, we talk through the process of refining a minimal set of data access conditions for the GESIS data archive.

Mit AUSSDA - The Austrian Social Science Data Archive wird eine Infrastruktureinrichtung für Sozialwissenschaften in Österreich aufgebaut. In diesem Beitrag werden zum einen organisatorische Eckdaten vorgestellt wie der Aufbau und die Zielgruppe der Organisation sowie (inter)nationale Kooperationen, zum anderen werden aber auch herausfordernde Aspekte der Archivarbeit präsentiert, wie die Weiterentwicklung des digitalen Archivs und Datenakquise und -nachnutzung.
