Presentation
ADPSS-Sociodata
is a specialised unit in applying information technologies for the analysis
and archiving of research data in social sciences.
The
structure of ADPSS-Sociodata is developed like the European and U.S. University
Data Archives and it answers to two mains requirements:
- On
one hand, it carries out a “data politic” not only in the
acquisition, archiving, documentation and diffusion of data sets, but
also, more in general, in the diffusion of the quantitative and qualitative
research methods, of the secondary analysis and statistic and managerial
packages.
- On
the other hand, it pursues the aim of conserving the increasing data
for social sciences, archiving and making available in the academic
market for the secondary analysis. The use of specific software and
statistic programmes becomes a collateral activity of increasing importance,
like the development of quantitative techniques and methods of social
analysis.
