DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Over the last 18 years, Sociometrics Corporation has produced seven topically focused data archives that embody the best research in a given substantive area. Each data archive is a planned collection with dataset acquisition guided by a National Advisory Panel of scientist-experts. Sociometrics Corporation's extensive experience in the production of electronic data archives has resulted in an industry-wide reputation for high quality and easy to use data products. The successful growth of Sociometrics' data archives as valuable data resources could not have occurred without the development of technological standards, products, and procedures that ensure the proper handling of our contributors' data. Sociometrics has developed a comprehensive set of procedures and software for the archiving of large social and behavioral science data sets that provides users of secondary data with substantial added value and ensure the highest data quality. This archiving system has utilized database applications, statistical programs, and proprietary executable files that automate many archiving processes, and has established data quality standards that have been achieved by very few organizations. We now propose to create a publicly available software suite of products that incorporates our proprietary archiving software and methods. The proposed Data Archiving Software Suite will provide individual researchers with a stand-alone system for archiving data, documenting metadata, and making data sets publicly available.

描述(由申请人提供)： 在过去的18年里，社会计量公司已经制作了七个聚焦于主题的数据档案，这些档案体现了特定实质性领域的最佳研究。每个数据档案都是一个计划收集的数据集，由国家科学家-专家咨询小组指导。社会计量公司在电子数据档案制作方面的丰富经验为业界赢得了高质量和易于使用的数据产品的声誉。如果没有技术标准、产品和程序的开发，确保正确处理贡献者的数据，社会计量数据档案作为宝贵的数据资源的成功增长是不可能发生的。 社会计量学开发了一套全面的程序和软件，用于归档大型社会和行为科学数据集，为二级数据的用户提供实质性的附加值，并确保最高的数据质量。这一归档系统利用了数据库应用程序、统计程序和专有的可执行文件，使许多归档过程自动化，并建立了数据质量标准，只有极少数组织实现了这些标准。我们现在建议创建一个公开可用的产品软件套件，其中包含我们专有的归档软件和方法。拟议的数据存档软件套件将为个别研究人员提供一个独立的系统，用于存档数据、记录元数据和公开提供数据集。
