This is a proposal to demonstrate new ways to engage students as creators and users of social sciences cyberinfrastructure. At the core of this approach is collaborative tagging technology, which are used to allow users to register "tags" with social science data and then search on tags registered by themselves or others to locate objects. This technology is used to allow student researchers to access and contribute to a collaborative exegesis on social science data, thus improving their knowledge and understanding of data, building their capacity to work with others, and speeding up their ability to be high quality researchers. In this Project a diverse student population that attends the ICPSR Summer Program in Quantitative Methods of Social Research, at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor will be used. The project team will build upon Nature Publishing Groups' Connotea technology to construct a taggable version of the General Social Survey (GSS), a widely used dataset in social science research and teaching. In Summer 2008, the project team will conduct preliminary work with students and faculty in the ICPSR Summer Program to develop and evaluate the tagging concept. By summer 2009, the project will be ready for a full-scale test and evaluation, in which a treatment group and a control group will receive the same instruction but make use of differently configured GSS datasets, one configured with access to the tagging system, and one without. Evaluation of student outcomes will determine the program's success, drive dissemination of findings, and assist in planning future activities.

该提案旨在展示让学生成为社会科学网络基础设施的创建者和用户的新方法。这种方法的核心是协作标记技术，它允许用户用社会科学数据注册“标签”，然后搜索自己或他人注册的标签来定位对象。该技术用于允许学生研究人员访问社会科学数据并为协作解释做出贡献，从而提高他们对数据的知识和理解，培养他们与他人合作的能力，并加快他们成为高素质研究人员的能力。在该项目中，将使用参加安娜堡密歇根大学社会研究定量方法 ICPSR 夏季课程的多元化学生群体。该项目团队将基于自然出版集团的 Connotea 技术构建综合社会调查 (GSS) 的可标记版本，这是社会科学研究和教学中广泛使用的数据集。 2008 年夏季，项目团队将与 ICPSR 夏季项目的学生和教师一起开展初步工作，以开发和评估标签概念。到 2009 年夏天，该项目将准备进行全面的测试和评估，其中治疗组和对照组将接受相同的指令，但使用不同配置的 GSS 数据集，一组配置为可以访问标记系统，另一组则不可以。对学生成绩的评估将决定该计划的成功，推动研究结果的传播，并协助规划未来的活动。
