Beyond Raw Data
CORPUS :
• Preliminary documents (research program, administrative
context, budget etc.)
• Materials provided by the fieldwork (Transcripted
interviews, ethnographic observations, notes etc.)
• Document produced within the analysis process
(synthesis, analytical grid, pre-work of publications etc.)
Tree view arrangement following the research process

Selective Dissemination
The Scientific and Technical Commitee (CST):
• Bench of experts (researchers, archivists, ITs etc.)
• Decisions
Criteria :
• Reuseability (scientific & pedagogic interest)
• Cost (financial and human)
• Availability of the researchers
etc.
If the corpus is selected by the CST
 Deposit contract signed with the researcher
 Data dissemination process
23/06/2015
Contract between Sciences Po and the
producer (reseacher & institution)

Current uses & Perspectives
Mostly pedagogic uses : methods teaching (focus groups,
non directive interview, text analysis softwares…) in
Sciences Po programs
Research uses : 2 post-docs, students (Master, PhD),
Reanalyse project (ANR)
Aims & Perspectives
• Enlarge the database
• Increase the number and kinds of uses
• Show the diversity of methods and topics
• Improve interoperability (OAI-PMH) & visibility
• Ensure the durability of the datasets & infrastructure
 We expect from data management policy better organized and described data wich will be
easier to collect and easier to process.
