Result description
This case study provides recommendations related to Social Surveys. This case study undertakes a comparative study of the data management, harmonization and integration practices of one of the satellite countries – Australia, through the AUSSI-ESS – and the core ESS, an ERIC social science infrastructure. It leverages the DDI metadata standards to understand how such multi-national collections could be made increasingly interoperable and reusable through shared procedural and technical development, and establishes a set of guidelines and tools for the development of cross-national collections into the future.
Problem addressed
The recommendations contained in the CDIF will consider standards in particular domains being used in EOSC, as well as in other regions of the world.
