The National Archive of Data from Official Statistics, part of the Large Research Infrastructure ProGeDo, has been providing access to social sciences data from more than 20 years.

Our mission is to disseminate studies and database produced by Official Statistics to the whole scientific community in order to foster the use of statistical data in social sciences.

In the context of the FAIR principle, to facilitate the discovery and re-use of data by humans and information systems, an indexation and contextualization of the data is necessary. In other word, we need to question our documentation processes to disseminate data that are findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable under the DDI standard.

Therefore, this presentation will highlight the processes and questions for providing DDI-compliant data in adequation with the FAIR principle.
