Role of Libraries in managing micro-data

Hi All, Our partner conducts a lot of surveys to measure water quality using ODK (an open source survey framework) and they would like to publish those datasets (survey data, questionnaire) in the Digital Library. Our initial reading of literature on this topic suggests that Libraries can play a key role in managing the microdata (or big data), especially in the academic and research contexts. I would be happy to get your inputs on the requirements, for example: 1. How do you want to bring the microdata in digital library platform from the survey app 2. How do you want to let the user discover microdata? Will it have the same search and filter interface that uses to discover documents? 3. How do you want to present such data to the user - table, data visualization? This will help team SocialWell to evolve a design framework that caters to a wider requirement.

Hi All,
Thank you for sharing your input on this topic:
1. Libraries play a key role in cataloguing/ classification, and providing access to data (micro-data/ open data) to their target audiences
2. There are web frameworks available to develop such data portals, e.g., Dataverse, Dryad, figshare, CKAN, etc.
3. Several leading Indian organizations have implemented such data portals, for example:
a) ICSSR Data Service - http://www.icssrdataservice.in/
b) MOSPI - https://www.mospi.gov.in/download-tables-data
c) RBI DBIE - https://dbie.rbi.org.in/DBIE/dbie.rbi?site=home
4) Some frameworks (Dataverse cited above) have attempted to cross-link data resource with other resources such as Journal/ journal article, to improve discovery and citation.
We welcome your suggestions and user requirements for features on a digital library framework that we are working on.
Best regards,
Atanu
