  2. Comparative research - a major feature in social science activity Globalisation & European integration > international collaboration & cross disciplinary networking, the growth in potential funding sources (EC FP’s, ESF; national funding) Comparative research - variety of forms and strategies High quality & ambitious research affects dynamically methodology and concepts Projects expand in no. of countries & increased complexity of the collected data of various types Variety of Subjects Political & social institutions & systems (like welfare, organisations, families …) Attitudes, values, and behaviour pattern in manifold areas (health, consumer, election …) Variety of design concepts & spatial & temporal dimension(examples) Special topics / EU Candidate countries (Eurobarometer) Modules for replications > cumulation (ISSP) Ex-post times series (EB Trend file) Longitudinal studies to observe the same items over long periods of time (ESS, EVS). National studies conceptualized to allow comparison (Household panels; GSS, Age; Health) Metadata needs of the future CESSDA RI regard Conception >Production > Repurposing of complex data Simplified Study Lifecycle

  3. Data producer (Primary investigator) provide metadata (Reports on …)

  4. New metadata needs may occur as consequence of methodological findings, e.g. on: • Mode of Data Collection (mixed mode > face-to-face, telephone, Internet and paper self-completion) • Strategies on improving response rates, • Functional equivalence of question

  5. Data collection Primary Data Analyses Publication of results (by Primary investigator / Project) Pass Study to a Data provider instance

  6. Contracting / Ingest / Long-term preservation > special topic: Preservation metadata Data Processing - Harmonisation - Integration & Metadata Documentation Lon-term preservation of processed study productPublication / dissemination
