The East European Data Archive Network (EDAN)
The East European Data Archive Network (EDAN) was established during the
UNESCO Workshop on Social Science Data Archives in Eastern Europe 2002.
EDAN acts as an informal network designed to unite data
archives which are at an early stage of their existence and share common
problems as well as to make sure that the Eastern European data archives
will catch up with the advanced western data archives. The EDAN is not
intended to replace or substitute the already existing networks IFDO and
CESSDA. For those archives, which were not formal members of CESSDA the EDAN
serve as a good organizational framework to coordinate efforts for setting
up the archive. The GESIS Service Agency Eastern Europe/Central Archive as the German member of EDAN will serve as the
coordinator of all activities concerning the network. At the workshop in Berlin there was also a
common understanding of the fact that the Eastern European archives need
special training in meta data production in the very next future. It is
envisaged to organize special training seminars within the
framework of EDAN.

The second EDAN training seminar took place at the Slovenian Data Archive
(ADP) at the University of Ljubliana (Slovenia) in June 2004. It
covered (like the first seminar) the basics of producing DDI compliant
codebooks and was intended for DDI beginners. This seminar introduced the
structure of the DDI metadata format and demonstrate how to produce DDI
compliant codebooks. Based on the ADP’s experience with creating DDI-XML
codebooks the participants from Bulgaria, Spain and Germany learnt in
a hands-on exercise how to get the most out of the Tag Library as well as
making full use of elements and attributes.
In September 2002 the first EDAN training seminar was
organized in Bucharest. It was supported by the Romania Data Archive (RODA)
and GESIS (German Social Science Infrastructure Services). The Council of
European Social Science Data Archives (CESSDA) has also lent its support by
sending West European experts and arranging presentations of ongoing
projects. The CESSDA members decided to hold their annual expert seminar in
Bucharest to make sure that the experts are available for both events.

This
book is the outcome of the workshop on social science data archives in
Eastern Europe that took place in Berlin from 22-24th February 2002. The
workshop was funded by the UNESCO's Management of Social Transformations
Programme (MOST) and the German Social Science Infrastructure Services
(GESIS) / Central Archive Cologne.
Despite
the large-scale development of electronic communications in all scientific
fields, experience shows that face-to-face communication remains essential,
particularly in developing co-operation and networks. Therefore the GESIS
Branch Office Berlin organized a workshop as a forum both to exchange
experiences of how to establish a data archive and to evaluate the potential
for the establishment of data archives in Eastern European countries without
a developed data infrastructure.
This
book offers a comprehensive overview of the development of data archiving in
Eastern Europe since 1990. The first part of the volume includes the country
reports from Bulgaria, Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine and Yugoslavia describing
the development of empirical social science research after 1990 and
assessing the potential for establishing a national social science data
archive in the respective country. The data archive progress reports from
the Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Russia, Slovakia, Romania, Slovenia and
Hungary are presented in the second part of the book.
For
the first time information on the state of data archiving in most of the
Eastern European countries were made available to the public. The East
European Data Archive Network (EDAN) founded at the UNESCO workshop in
Berlin and the cooperation with the already existing archive networks CESSDA
(Council of European Social Science Data Archives) and IFDO (International
Federation of Data Organisations) are described in this volume as
well.

data archives in Estonia, Latvia, Russia, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Romania
and Slovakia as well as researchers who are involved in data archiving
initiatives in Lithuania, Poland, Bulgaria, Ukraine and Yugoslavia.
Additionally, representatives from the Swedish, Finish, Australian and
German Data Archive shared their experience.

There are a lot of European and American initiatives
and developments in the area of metadata production. At the EDAN training
seminar the participants from Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Bulgaria,
Ukraine, Russia and Portugal were informed about these developments. Besides
background information the seminar offered the chance of learning by doing
in hands-on-computer sessions. The first day was dedicated to the production
of DDI XML Codebooks. After a short introduction given by Ken Miller (UK
Data Archive) Janez Stebe (ADP, Slovenia) guided the participants through
the production line of the Slovenian data archive. Ken Miller continued by
showing the next steps after the production of xml codebooks. Emma Barker
(UK Data Archive) introduced an example of marking up texts generated from
qualitative research. The NESSTAR technology was predominant on the second
day of the seminar. Matti Heinonen and Mari Kleemola (FSD, Finland)
presented how to set up a web data catalogue and install a NESSTAR server.
This presentation was followed by a hands-on-computer session on the NESSTAR
Catalogue and Publisher which was chaired by Adrian Dusa (RODA, Romania).
In a joint CESSDA and EDAN session Massimilliono Gerardi (NESSTAR Ltd.)
introduced the new Access Control Unit which will be implemented
in the latest version of NESSTAR (announced for the coming weeks).
Bjarne Oymyr (NSD, Norway) presented the EU funded project MADIERA
(Multilingual Access of Data Infrastructures for the European Research Area)
as a further step towards the “Social Science Dream Machine”. In the
presentation of the MetaDater (also funded by the EU) Nanna Floor Clausen (DDA,
Denmark) pointed out that the emphasis of the project is put on the creation
of a metadata management and production system for simple to complex social
science surveys.
