2009-05-27: A1: Tools and Implementations of DDI 3.0
Session theme/info: <p>This session is an overview of new tools developments since the initial set of DDI 3.0 tools was demonstrated at IASSIST 2008. The goal is to show people how DDI 3.0 is being implemented in new tools, to provide ideas for implementation, and contacts for each of the various tools. This panel will provide a brief (5 minute) overview of the entire tools picture (including references to new tools which have their own sessions at IASSIST), and will then provide short (10-15 minute) demos of:</p><ul><li>CentERdata's tool for documenting/disseminating longitudinal online panel surveys (LISS panel)</li><li>The DDI Foundation Tools Editing Suite, an open-source implementation developed by a group of organizations from the DDI community</li><li>Exanda, a tool built by GESIS for tabulating data and making visualizations, with outputs in several formats</li><li>MISSY 2: another GESIS tool for documenting and viewing the German microcensus</li><li>Editing and database tools developed at the IAB.</li></ul><p> </p><p>This panel is very much a follow-up from last years', to show how aggressively DDI 3.0 is being adopted, and to show the various tools and approaches available to those who are looking at DDI 3.0 implementation themselves.</p>

2009-05-27: A2: Semi-Permeable Boundaries Among Institutions
Session theme/info: <p>Data Services have evolved in very different institutions in different places: in some places, data have traditionally been lodged in centralized national data archives, in others they evolved in the libraries, and in others they began their life in local data archives. None of these settings is static - and they are certainly in transition - but each has different strengths and weaknesses. Increasingly, these institutional settings must confront the ways in which they complement, supplement, compete with, and coordinate with one another. In this session, the presenters will discuss both formal and informal initiatives which have attempted to redefine institutional boundaries with respect to kinds of services provided (e.g. statistical consulting, data discovery, file manipulation, preservation), the kinds of data dealt with (e.g. restricted vs. public, aggregate vs. microdata), and the kinds of expertise needed. The results at times blur or remove boundaries, and at times preserve institutional boundaries through formal or informal agreements to divide complementary services or activities. Whether strengthened, weakened, or simply shifted along different lines, the intent in each case is to increase the mobility of data and support services between the most appropriate providers and the data users.</p>

2009-05-27: C4: Data Sharing Across the Disciplines
Session theme/info: <p>This three-part session will explore differences in data sharing among
disciplines, with a specific focus on how the nascent open data movement
in the sciences portends the emergence of a data sharing culture much
different from that found in the social sciences. The role of data
specialists in promoting unfettered sharing of research data is
explored. Part One will examine the theoretical underpinnings of data
sharing within several disciplines and provide empirical evidence - from
an examination of dissertations (with particular focus on access to raw
data that is supplemental to published dissertations) - to test our
hypothesis that a culture of data sharing is less evident in life
sciences and physical sciences than it is in social sciences. Part Two
offers insights from two data librarians who - as front-line
data-sharing intermediaries (largely in the social sciences) - will draw
upon experiences and observations to offer practical tips for promoting
and advancing a data-sharing culture. This will include suggestions for
guiding emergent data developers in the sciences towards an ideal model
of data sharing. Part Three will engage the audience in a lively
discussion about advancing the role of data specialists as full
participants in support of the growing data-sharing culture across
disciplines.</p>

2009-05-28: Plenary II
Session theme/info: Over the past five years government research and higher education funding institutions have 'discovered' many aspects of data and its uses that the IASSIST community has known for over thirty years: data is a valuable commodity, a source of new knowledge, the basis for international research efforts and which therefore requires sound policies to preserve and manage its use and re-use. Thus, there is considerable irony in the fact that just as high-level policy bodies at the national and international level are coming to this realisation, the comfortable and predictable environments in which many of us work are being challenged on a number of fronts. For example, the 'google' world leads to naïve assumptions about discoverability of data no matter where it is housed. But of what quality? New tools and technologies have thrown up a multiplicity of choices for storing, retrieving and analysing data. But can these multiple stores, formats and standards 'talk' to each other? This paper explores how the environment in which we work is changing; the need to take advantage of, and adapt to, the growing recognition of the importance of data; and the need for greater international efforts to maintain the strong, professional standards and practices built up within the IASSIST community.
