Program Session #: 31 | Submission: 10042 | Sponsor(s): (ENT, TIM, ITC)
Scheduled: Friday, Aug 8 2008 3:00PM - 6:00PM at Anaheim Convention Center in 209A
Host: Julia Lane; U. of Chicago;
Host: Alicia Robb; U. of California, Santa Cruz;
Facilitator: Stefan Bender; Institute for Employment Research (IAB) of the Federal Employment Agency (BA);
New modalities are being developed both nationally and internationally to promote researcher access to business microdata -- particularly remote access enclaves. Two recent workshops, one NSF funded and in Ann Arbor Michigan, and one in Nuremburg Germany brought together data producers and enclave managers to discuss the best ways to promote such access. This workshop will engage the research community to find out what works best for them in terms of structure and content, as well as what kind of datasets exist that could be targetted to include in remote access facilities. Workshop organisers include data producers (Kauffman Foundation and NIST/TIP), enclave managers (NORC/University of Chicago and IAB/Germany) and researchers (Alicia Robb and Julia Lane)
