Summary of contents:

The DDI-DExT Tools project’s primary objective was to produced a utility software for the conversion of statistical data files into an archive neutral format for long term preservation along with the option to re-package the data for dissemination to end users for use with various statistical packages. This initial effort was intended as a “proof-of-concept” tool to demonstrate the feasibility and sustainability of such approach. The development was conducted from June 2007 to February 2008 as a collaborative effort between the UK Data Archive (UKDA) and the Open Data Foundation (ODaF). This document summarizes the technical aspects and activities of the project. Conclusion is on page 13-14.

Data Exchange Tools and Conversion Utilities

Short Project Name: DExT

Programme Name: Preservation Assessment

Strand:

JISC Project URI: http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/programme_rep_pres/dext.aspx

Project URI: http://www.data-archive.ac.uk/dext/

Start Date: 11/12/2006

End Date: 31/03/2008

Governance: Integrated Information Environment Committee (JIIE)

Contact Name and Role: Louise Corti, Project Director

Brief project description: Data conversion and proprietary data entry and analysis are particularly important and problematic aspects of data management and curation. This proposal aims to provide researchers and support staff working with primary research data with a suite of tools that will enable data to be long-term curated and exchangeable. The tools will research and both develop and test tools for contemporary quantitative data or statistical data and qualitative data typically used by social researchers.

Name of Trawler: Mahendra Mahey

Output: A model for a data exchange format for qualitative data, Project Plan
