Description
One objective of the COORDINATE project is to provide improved access to studies related to child and youth wellbeing. This has been achieved by utilizing CESSDA's software and metadata provided by CESSDA Service Providers in DDI-C and DDI-L formats.
In this presentation, the various components that enable the portal's functionality will be covered. This includes harvesting DDI metadata from OAI-PMH, indexing it into Elasticsearch, and ensuring that only studies related to child and youth wellbeing are included in the portal.
Development of the portal is ongoing and will continue at least until early 2025, when the portal is expected to be officially released. However, a demo version of the portal has been publicly available since late 2023, offering a preview of its capabilities. This demo will be showcased during the presentation to illustrate the current state of the portal, how thematic views can be created based on DDI metadata, and the portal’s potential impact on research accessibility.
The presentation will also address the challenges encountered during development, the lessons learned, and areas identified for further improvement.
