The question of data access has become an increasingly important topic in scientific research: the FAIR principle, the Research Data Alliance, the Open Science Cloud, etc... As a matter of fact, the challenge of data and metadata findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR) is becoming more and more important in the scientific community these days. But yet, how can we produce FAIR data? Also, how to disseminate them? The Large Research InfrastructureProgedo has set up a network of university data platform, each of these skills platforms aims to provide real supports which form the necessary link between digital platforms and users. Furthermore, the interest of working upstream the data production, in collaboration with the researchers, allows us to obtain detailed documentation consisting in document of context as well as metadata. Moreover, downstream the chain of data, the national archive of data from official statistics (ADISP), a service of Progedo, documents those metadata to the DDI standard and disseminate it to the European scientific community. To conclude, the purpose of this presentation will be to highlight the betterment of this collaborative work between Adisp and the university data platform in the data life cycle and the interest of it.

National audience

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.
