Aida Hajro and Nina Karać, trainees for the future University of Sarajevo Digital Archives and Services completed the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's open online course in Metadata: Organizing and Discovering Information.
Aida Hajro scored 99.2% and Nina Karać scored 97.9%
Although they have extensive knowledge of working with metadata and have been part of the BIH Memories (BIHME) project, they decided to set aside some extra time and work on further learning about metadata.
Aida Hajro and Nina Karać are members of the SERSCIDA Technical Team in WP5 which is starting in December 2014.
Currently, primary data collected through research in the social sciences in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia remain mainly in the possession of researchers or research institutions that have conducted the research project for which the data have been collected. These data often remain unavailable to other researchers despite their high value for further analysis. There are no existing or sustainable social science data archives in these countries that can deal with issues of preservation and dissemination of these primary data.
Archiving and sharing data with a specialist data centre:
'Otvoreni pristup' se odnosi na praksu pružanja neometanog Internet pristupa naučnim tekstovima. Budući da se sva istraživanja i inovacije baziraju na ranijim dostignućima, efikasan sistem za široku disperziju i pristup istraživačkim publikacijama i neobrađenim podacima može ubrzati naučni progres. OECD Deklaracija iz 2008 godine navodi ’’da otvoren pristup i neograničena upotreba podataka promoviše naučni napredak i olakšava obuke istraživača’’ i maksimizira ’’vrednost stvorenu javnim ulaganjem u proces prikupljanja podataka’’. SERSCIDA će se usmeriti na potrebu za poboljšanim i otvorenim pristupom i deljenjem primarnih podataka prikupljenih kroz istraživanja u oblasti društvenih nauka, uz istovremeni pokušaj oživljavanja postojećih državnih strategija i struktura i doprinosu razvoju novih.
