This project will make several significant contributions to the social science, public health, and other research communities. Included among them will be interactive access to a Supersample of data from the 1990 U.S. Census long form file, and a concatenated version of the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS) files from the Minnesota Historical Census Projects, integrated with intelligent agents. The project encompasses two primary tasks: (1) to make more than fifty million microdata records in these data sets interactively accessible to researchers through the PDQ-Explore information system; and (2) to create PDQ-Expert, an expert system with intelligent agents, that will dynamically link data, documentation, reference materials, tutorials, and analytic tools, to facilitate access to meaningful information in public census and survey data. In this Phase II project, Public Data Queries, Inc., will: (1) Provide interactive access to massive census microdata files such as the PUMS, IPUMS, and the N ICHD 1990 Supersample, available documentation, and value-added enhancements; (2) Embed PDQ-Explore within an expert system designed to facilitate the meaningful use of these data and populated with substantive content encompassing data, documentation, analytic methods, and social issues to which the data are relevant; (3) Extend the PDQ-Explore graphical user interface, statistical capabilities, and infrastructure to accommodate the data and the expert system. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: Distribution of census data is a marketable service. Additions to our PDQ- Explore data bank of the 1990 Supersample and the concatenated IPUMS, along with other census long form files that may become available, and the added-value of the enhanced documentation, an expert system, and linkage to statistical software will dramatically improve access to these data and the information within. The added features will certainly increase the marketability of PDQ-Explore.

该项目将为社会科学、公共卫生和其他研究界做出多项重大贡献。其中包括交互式访问来自 1990 年美国人口普查长格式文件的数据超级样本，以及来自明尼苏达州历史人口普查项目的综合公共使用微数据系列 (IPUMS) 文件的串联版本，并与智能代理集成。该项目包含两项主要任务：（1）使这些数据集中超过 5000 万条微观数据记录可供研究人员通过 PDQ-Explore 信息系统交互访问； (2) 创建 PDQ-Expert，这是一个具有智能代理的专家系统，它将动态链接数据、文档、参考资料、教程和分析工具，以方便获取公共人口普查和调查数据中有意义的信息。在此第二阶段项目中，Public Data Queries, Inc. 将： (1) 提供对大规模人口普查微观数据文件（例如 PUMS、IPUMS 和 N ICHD 1990 Supersample）、可用文档和增值增强功能的交互式访问； (2) 将 PDQ-Explore 嵌入专家系统中，该系统旨在促进这些数据的有意义使用，并填充实质性内容，包括数据、文档、分析方法以及与数据相关的社会问题； (3) 扩展 PDQ-Explore 图形用户界面、统计功能和基础设施以容纳数据和专家系统。拟议的商业应用：人口普查数据的分发是一项有市场的服务。对 1990 年超级样本和串联 IPUMS 的 PDQ-探索数据库的补充，以及可能可用的其他人口普查长格式文件，以及增强文档、专家系统和与统计软件的链接的附加值，将极大地改善对这些数据和其中信息的访问。增加的功能肯定会增加 PDQ-Explore 的适销性。
