Informations- und Dateninfrastruktur (INF)

• Subject Area: Statistics and Econometrics
• Term: from 2011 to 2016
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 138713964

INF brings together expertise in the fields of information infrastructure, data management and data analysis in order to support the researchers and to create a sustainable basis for the further use of the data gathered. The services established in the first funding period in the fields of data ex-change, data documentation and management will be consolidated and enhanced. Basically, the mission of INF is organized along three pillars: A unique feature of CRC 882 is its own Research Data Centre (RDC) that provides access to both quantitative and qualitative data of the CRC. As a second pillar, a Competence Centre of Methods and Statistics (CCMS) will provide training and consulting in qualitative and quantitative research design and methods for the staff of CRC and external data users. Both, the RDC and CCMS are supported by the third pillar ¿ the data and infor-mation infrastructure. In close cooperation with central service facilities at Bielefeld University, enhanced tools for data management, data discovery, and secure data access will be developed.
