<odesi> what it is…<odesi> what it is…
< <odesi> is a centralised, standardised web-based data exploration/extraction system delivered through Scholars Portal
< it is the only provincially available tool that allows the user to search multiple datasets at the variable level

How it came to be…How it came to be…
< In 2005, the Data IN Ontario (DINO) working group of OCUL (Ontario Council of University Libraries) started thinking about moving beyond ‘home-grown’ data solutions,
< DDI was being recognised as a coding standard,
< Data users were interested in building a province-wide data solution.

< Nesstar became available and suddenly there was a viable tool with which to create a centralised data portal
< Norwegian Social Science Data Services” -- Networked Social Science Tools and Resources
< was already in use in Europe, UK, US, Canada
< In Ontario: Queens, Guelph, Carleton, Windsor, Ottawa, U. of T. and Statistics Canada use Nesstar

The <odesi> partnershipsThe <odesi> partnerships
< Partnerships were developed through data groups such as Data IN Ontario (DINO) working group of OCUL (Ontario Council of University Libraries)
< Ontario Universities (Guelph, Carleton, < Scholars Portal< DDI Alliance
< Data providers: Statistics Canada, Wilfrid
Laurier University (IPSOS Reid)

Funding backgroundFunding background
< the <odesi> planning group went to the BPS Supply Chain Secretariat, Ontario Ministry of Finance in the hopes of finding funding.
< <odesi> in the end secured funding from the Ontario Ministry of Finance’s OntarioBuys program.

Funding backgroundFunding background
<odesi> is now a jointly funded project between the Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL) and OntarioBuys (BPS Supply Chain Secretariat, Ontario Ministry of Finance)
< $1.04M including “in kind” contributions of datasets and facilities

Project achievementsProject achievements
<odesi> was launched on Scholars Portal March 4, 2008
< negotiated access to the IPSOS Reid files at LISPOP for use on <odesi>
< extended the <odesi> co-op program to other universities funding students at Wilfrid Laurier University, University of Ottawa, Laurentian & Western Universities

Project achievementsProject achievements
< Lead institutions in <ODESI> are Carleton and Guelph, with in-kind assistance from Queen’s University.
< First step was developing a Canadian ‘best practices’ document for cataloguing data files using DDI – analogous to AACR2 for MARC.
< Next, survey files were ‘marked up’ (catalogued) and loaded onto a test server at Guelph.
< The team at Scholars Portal is working with <ODESI> to establish a data server and load data files.

Project achievementsProject achievements
< working with University of Ottawa to mark up STC files in French
< hiring a programmer at Scholars Portal to further improve the site (French instance, Federated Identity Management …)
< completed the Best Practice Document for DDI data coding in both French and English.

Next stepsNext steps
< seek new datasets• Province of Ontario Data• ICPSR
< creating a suite of tutorials and other training materials
< investigate providing access to <odesi> to the wider education sector (colleges & CREPUQ)
< work toward creating a national co-ordination committee for DDI projects in Canada

Next StepsNext Steps
< investigate using <odesi> as a depository for Ontario research data
< explore links with CARL and CISTI in the aim of creating a national data archive
< explore international links e.g. CESSDA, IFDO
