Nationale und internationale Kooperationen
Datenservice
Die Bereitstellung von Daten, der Austausch von datenbezogenen
Informationen, Kontakte zu Archiven und Fortbildungsmöglichkeiten werden
über ein weltweit verzweigtes Netz von Datenarchiven vermittelt. Im Zuge
der Akquisition, Aufbereitung oder Archivierung von Daten unterhält das GESIS-ZA vielfältige Kontakte zu Umfrageinstituten und Wissenschaftlern.
- IFDO
(english site) - International Federation of Data Organizations for
the Social Sciences
koordiniert auf internationaler Ebene u. a. neue Anforderungen und
Entwicklungen bei der Datenarchivierung und -bereitstellung (in english).
- CESSDA - Council of European Social
Science Data Archives -
fördert als informeller Zusammenschluss europäischer Datenarchive
den Erfahrungsaustausch. Der Datentransfer wird durch den integrierten
Datenkatalog - IDC - erleichtert.
- Archivnetz Osteuropa
Die GESIS Servicestelle Osteuropa unterhält vielfältige Kontakte und
spezifische Kooperationen mit den Archiven und
sozialwissenschaftlichen Einrichtungen in Osteuropa.

for Political and Social Research
Durch eine Kooperationsvereinbarung des ZA mit dem ICPSR in Ann Arbor,
Michigan besteht ein Zugang zu einem weiten Spektrum amerikanischer
Umfragedaten und zu Weiterbildungsmöglichkeiten in statistischer
Datenanalyse (Summer Program).
Internationale Projekte
Das GESIS-ZA ist als Datenarchiv Partner in folgenden internationalen
Projekten & Kooperationen
Eurobarometer
- Monitoring the Public Opinion in the European
Union
Standard Eurobarometer public opinion surveys are conducted on behalf
of the European Commission at least two times a year in all member states
of the European Union. Since the early seventies they are providing
regular monitoring of social and political attitudes in the European
publics. The Eurobarometer program has later been enlarged by small scale
Flash Eurobarometer and a
Central and Eastern Eurobarometer; later replaced by the
Candidate Countries Eurobarometer.
Eurobarometer data and documentation are stored at the
ICPSR and at the
GESIS-ZA and made available for social science research purposes
(i.e. secondary analysis of the raw data) by the
Social Science Data Archives. Survey results are regularly published
by the Eurobarometer unit of the
European Commission.
ICORE - International Committee for Research into Elections
and Representative Democracy
ICORE
wird von europäischen Archiven beim Aufbau eines Datenschwerpunktes
'Wahlen zu den nationalen europäischen Parlamenten' unterstützt.
ISSP - The
International Social Survey Programme
The International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) is a continuing annual
programme of cross-national collaboration on surveys covering topics
important for social science research. Since 1983 it brings together
pre-existing social science projects and co-ordinates research goals,
thereby adding a cross-national, cross-cultural perspective to the
individual national studies.
The secretariate of the ISSP
co-ordinates the official activities of the group. The GESIS-ZA as the official
archive carries out the data service of the ISSP since 1986.
MetaDater - Metadata Management and Production System for surveys
from Empirical Socio-economic Research
The project is funded under the 5th Framework Programme - Key Action:
Improving the Socio-economic Knowledge Base -
Group: Data infrastructure. It started on
January 1st., 2003 and finished 30th. April 2006.
- General Objectives were to develop
- standards to describe large scale comparative surveys over space and
time and
- tools to produce & manage respective metadata.
- The main products developed are
- the
conceptual data model and two data models models on metadata from
comparative research (RCNS
Data Model,
Q/V Data
model). The recent editions of the three data
model version are made available for further scientific use according to
common information and citation rules;
- The related relational data model is implemented
at the database management systems Oracle and MySql part of the 3-tier
system architecture solution. The prototype of the technical 3-tier
system (User interfaces; Application server, RDBMS) demonstrates the
feasibility of the data model and how to capture, to manage and to
exchange metadata by a modular system. The manifold potentials of the
technical results will be provided to future project developments in
that field by respective initiatives of the consortium.
- The Consortium
consists of eight European CESSDA Archive under coordination of GESIS-ZA.
Presentations
and Publications
of the outcomes are provided at the respective project's website.
MADIERA -
Multilingual Access to Data Infrastructures of the European Research
Area
The project started on December 1st, 2002. It is funded by the
European Commission under the Fifth Framework programme. The overall
goal of the MADIERA project is to develop an effective infrastructure
for the European social science community by integrating data with other
tools, resources and products of the research process.
NESSIE - Network of Economic and Social Science
Infrastructures in Europe
NESSIE is a cooperation network
of four major European social science research centres. It was launched
in 2001, with the aim of addressing some of the barriers that exist
within Europe to "accurate" and comparative research.
Funded by the European
Commission for four years, the Network is concentrating on
identifying tasks that will make access to large data collections more
feasible and to make recommendations to ensure their comparability
across Europe. It works through a programme of active exchange, seminars
and workshops, and through the implementation of web-based tools for
information exchange and information access.
The four partners are:
