Research

Inventory of Community Data Sources

• To assist the network in determining how data needs of CSDS consortium members could be met, the consortium needed to know what data were available at the neighbourhood/community level, who collects these data, and how the data could be accessed or obtained. Thus, one component of the second phase of the CSDS project was the preparation of an inventory of the principle sources of social data. The inventory is hosted on this website and you can link to it here.
