CESSDA Dataverse Working Group
CONTACT PERSON: Lars Kaczmirek
As co-lead of one of CESSDA ERIC’s core working groups, the main focus in 2026 will be on providing the best possible support to all service providers using Dataverse. To this end, there will be a workshop at the CESSDA Conference in Bergen in June on the topic of multilingual support, as well as a training session on ‘Dataverse Customisations’. AUSSDA can, on the one hand, share its own solutions for implemented changes to the Dataverse software with other archives and, on the other hand, find or discuss solutions to problems.
In 2027, we will then use the insights gained to strengthen CESSDA’s role within the global Dataverse community.

Training Resources/Resource Directory
CONTACT PERSON: Veronika Preuer
The AUSSDA site in Vienna is working with European partner archives (FORS in Switzerland, CROSSDA in Croatia, SND in Sweden) to streamline two core CESSDA services. The Training Resources and the Resource Directory, originally aimed at researchers and archive staff respectively, will be combined and made accessible via the SSH Open Marketplace.

Controlled Vocabulary Service (CVS)
CONTACT PERSON: Dimitri Prandner
The CESSDA Controlled Vocabulary Service (CVS) is being further developed at the AUSSDA site in Linz. The CVS is a platform for managing and providing controlled vocabularies that form part of the CESSDA metadata schema. AUSSDA is thereby advancing CESSDA’s strategic objectives, such as close collaboration with the Data Documentation Initiative (DDI), and is further expanding expertise in Linz derived from the Ethnic and Migrant Minority (EMM) project.

Data Management Expert Guide (DMEG)
CONTACT PERSON: Dimitri Prandner
Under the leadership of the AUSSDA Linz site, the CESSDA Data Management Expert Guide (DMEG) is being revised. The DMEG is an important resource for both social science researchers and archivists, as it covers the entire data lifecycle from project planning to data provision.
