A friend of mine asked me to post the following message. Please reply to the e-mail address given below. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Here at the University of Leiden we are currently working on a project titled "Modelling Meta-Data". It belongs to the European research program DOSES (Development Of Statistical Expert Systems). National Statistical Institutes process huge quantities of data. In statistical data processing, information *about* the data needs to be taken into account in order to analyze the data correctly. This concept of information about data is referred to as "Meta-Data". The aim of the "Modelling Meta-Data" project is to model and formalize the meta-data, and to demonstrate it's usefulness for National Statistical Institutes, by implementing it within a statistical analysis environment. I would like to: - get in contact with people/institutes involved in related research fields, - get references to literature in this field. Please e-mail to the e-adress below. Thanks in advance. --Ed. de Feber Dept. of Behavioral Computer Science P.O. Box 9555, 2300RB Leiden The Netherlands feber@rulfsw.LeidenUniv.nl feber@swi.psy.uva.nl
