da/raSearchNet - Advancing the Registration agency for social and economic data towards an international search network for research data from the social and economic sciences

在信息基础设施项目和倡议中，希望发展一种共享数据的共同文化和做法。这一目标的实现在很大程度上取决于促进可持续数据参考以及综合搜索和检索研究数据的国际兼容基础设施。鉴于这一重大挑战，dalraSearchNet项目旨在建立一个社会和经济研究数据的综合搜索网络，使用户能够在国际范围内以舒适的方式搜索最新的数据持有参考资料。该网络的出发点和核心是在供资的头三年内开发的数据登记机构的社会和经济数据数据库。Da|ra数据库已经包括了所有登记数据中可搜索的元数据，其中包括德国地理信息系统数据档案馆和美美太平洋数据中心的大量藏品。在第二个资助期内，数据库的内容将通过继续登记活动和纳入对未登记的研究数据的参考而大大扩大。此外，其他相关国际数据提供者的数据参考将纳入数据检索索引。对于数据提供商来说，da|raSearchNet一方面为他们的数据提供了更大的可见性，另一方面也提供了在他们自己的信息服务中重复使用da|ra元数据的机会。二级数据用户受益于在一个地方搜索分散的资产的可能性，以及允许单独搜索、使用和管理数据参考的几项增值服务。整体项目旨在通过发展合作、流程自动化、国际连通性、可重用性和所有组成部分的可持续性，为数据提供者和二级数据用户开发一项综合服务。在资助期结束后，Gesis将继续运营dajraSearchNet，作为一项永久建立的服务。作为德国社会科学基础设施的主要机构，GEIS与国际社会联系密切，在研究数据周期的服务开发方面拥有数十年的经验，为项目的成功完成提供了良好的环境。

In information infrastructure projects and Initiatives the development of a common culture and practice of data sharing is aspired. The achievement of this goal is largely dependent on internationally compatible infrastructure that facilitates sustainable data reference as well as integrated search and retrieval of research data. In the light of this pivotal challenge, the project dalraSearchNet aims at establishing an integrated search network for social and economic research data that enables users to search up-to-date references of data holdings on an international basis and in a comfortable way. The point of departure and core of the network is the database of the da|ra registration agency for social and economic data that has been developed within the first three years of funding. The da|ra database already includes searchable metadata from all registered data, among them the considerable holdings of the German GESIS data archive and the US-American ICPSR. Within a second funding period, the content of the database will be expanded significantly by continuing registration activities and by including references to nonregistered research data. Furthermore, data references of other relevant international data providers will be integrated in the da|ra search index. For data providers, da|raSearchNet on the one hand affords an opportunity to give their data a greater visibility and on the other hand to reuse the da|ra metadata within their own information services. Secondary data users benefit from the possibility to search distributed holdings in one place and from several value-added services that allow for individual search, use and management of data references. The holistic project aims at developing an integrated service for data providers as well as secondary data users by focusing on the development of co-operations, the automation of processes, international connectability, reusability, and sustainability of all its components. After the funding period, GESIS will continue operating dajraSearchNet as a permanently established service. Being the key institution for social science infrastructure in Germany, closely connected with the international community and having decades of experience in service development along the research data cycle, GESIS offers an excellent environment for a successful completion of the project.
