Data dissemmination
• Through data archives
• GESIS is the primary data archive for EVS
• 1981 originally at UKDA
• 1990 at DANS
• For/in 1981/1990 only data and questionnaires (later in pdf-format)

Harmonising different waves• In 2006 a harmonised data set was released after
(post hoc) harmonisation of all Value Surveys since 1981 (ASEP/JDS, EVS-Tilburg, GESIS)
• Goals:– Make all Value Surveys available on line – Facilitate simple analyses– Disseminate all documentation
• Web sites where data are available:– EVS www.europeanvaluesstudy.eu – ASEP/JDS www.jdsurvey.net – WVS (Enter from WVS )
• ALSO HARMONISING META DATA

Meta data 2008
• Improved presentation on ZACAT– Including more notes from the translation
process
• DatapluS: Repositories for Enhanced Survey Publications

DatapluSFunded by Surf FoundationCreate 2 subject repositories with enriched publications
• Besides European Values Study (EVS), also Dutch Parliamentary Election Study
• Enriched with:– Syntax codes of constructs, concepts– Links to (meta) data (at the variable level)—persistent
identifier issue
