  • ced 2 ar the comprehensive extensible Data Documentation and access repository
    ACM IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries, 2014
    Co-Authors: Carl Lagoze, Lars Vilhuber, Jeremy Williams, Benjamin Perry, William C. Block
    Abstract:

    We describe the design, implementation, and deployment of the Comprehensive Extensible Data Documentation and Access Repository (CED2AR). This is a metaData repository system that allows researchers to search, browse, access, and cite confidential Data and metaData through either a web-based user interface or programmatically through a search API, all the while re-reusing and linking to existing archive and provider generated metaData. CED2AR is distinguished from other metaData repository-based applications due to requirements that derive from its social science context. These include the need to cloak confidential Data and metaData and manage complex provenance chains.

  • lehd Data Documentation lehd overview s2011 lehd infrastructure files in the census rdc overview
    2014
    Co-Authors: Lars Vilhuber, Kevin L Mckinney
    Abstract:

    The Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) Program at the U.S. Census Bureau, with the support of several national research agencies, maintains a set of infrastructure files using administrative Data provided by state agencies, enhanced with information from other administrative Data sources, demographic and economic (business) surveys and censuses. The LEHD Infrastructure Files provide a detailed and comprehensive picture of workers, employers, and their interaction in the U.S. economy. This document describes the structure and content of the 2011 Snapshot of the LEHD Infrastructure files as they are made available in the Census Bureaus secure and restricted-access Research Data Center network. The document attempts to provide a comprehensive description of all researcher-accessible files, of their creation, and of any modifcations made to the files to facilitate researcher access.

  • Implementing the Data Documentation Initiative at the Minnesota Population Center
    Historical methods: A journal of quantitative and interdisciplinary history, 2020
    Co-Authors: William C. Block, Wendy Thomas
    Abstract:

    Abstract The Data Documentation Initiative (DDI) is an emerging international specification for Documentation of social science Data. Designed as an archival standard to help preserve access to Data and codebooks, the DDI is nonproprietary and hardware independent. By treating Documentation as metaData—or Data about Data—the DDI will open the door to the development of generalpurpose automated software tools for accessing both Data and Documentation. The authors provide a background and history of the DDI and discuss the advantages of machine-processable Documentation. They also describe several specific applications of DDI-compliant metaData currently under way at the Minnesota Population Center (MPC).

  • Data Documentation initiative toward a standard for the social sciences
    International Journal of Digital Curation, 2008
    Co-Authors: Mary Vardigan, Pascal Heus, Wendy Thomas
    Abstract:

    The Data Documentation Initiative (DDI) is an emerging metaData standard for the social sciences. The DDI is in active use by many Data specialists and archivists, but researchers themselves have been slow to recognize the benefits of the standards approach to metaData. This paper outlines how the DDI has evolved since its inception in 1995 and discusses ways to broaden its impact in the social science research community.
