9360093 Peterson This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will develop software that enables a researcher to develop and document a social data set. The software will ease development by automating those tasks that can best be done by computer. It will improve instrumentation and documentation by providing a structure and format that are complete and of high quality. It will also eliminate much of the post-data-collection effort of documenting a data set for public use. The proposed software program would be a significant resource for social scientists. It would provide a tool to assist the researcher with several steps in the research process, including data set development, documentation, cleaning, and analysis file creation. Furthermore, it would integrate all these steps in one program and provide a link to the archiving task for those data sets that are to be placed in the public domain. Successful completion of this research will lay the groundwork for highly useful computer software tools of value not only to social scientists but also to market researchers, government statistical agencies, and others in applied fields that employ social data. ***

小行星9360093 这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目将开发软件，使研究人员能够开发和记录社会数据集。 该软件将通过自动化那些最好由计算机完成的任务来简化开发。 它将通过提供一个完整和高质量的结构和格式来改进仪器和文件。 它还将消除大部分数据收集后记录数据集供公众使用的工作。 拟议中的软件程序将是社会科学家的重要资源。 它将提供一个工具，以协助研究人员在研究过程中的几个步骤，包括数据集的开发，文件，清理和分析文件的创建。 此外，它将把所有这些步骤纳入一个程序，并为那些将被置于公共领域的数据集提供一个与归档任务的链接。 这项研究的成功完成将为非常有用的计算机软件工具奠定基础，这些工具不仅对社会科学家有价值，而且对市场研究人员、政府统计机构和其他使用社会数据的应用领域也有价值。 ***
