As originally proposed in 1998, the purpose of the External Research Resources Core is to provide support to researchers at the University of Wisconsin - Madison and our off-campus collaborators who either are, or are planning to, conduct research concerning health and aging. Our affiliates are sociologists, epidemiologists, economists, political scientists, public health specialists, and doctors. Our over-riding objective is to create a one-stop shop for information and services that allow researchers to spend their time doing research, period. Our projects database, listing all of the aging-related research projects in which our affiliates have been engaged, and our project bibliography that lists hundreds of aging-related publications written by our affiliates over the past ten years demonstrate the success of our hands-on approach. Despite the limited resources that have been made available to the two data cores, our small size, and our status as a relative new-comer in the data community, our Data Archivist/Analyst and Librarian are viewed as innovative, knowledgeable, and approachable team. We believe that one reason for this reputation is a direct result of our investment in Nesstar, the software that powers our on-line data archive. This software suite, which consists of server software, a browser interface, and metadata authoring tools, allows potential secondary data users to search for datasets and variables of interest, browse data documentation via an extraordinarily user-friendly drill-down folder-style display system, perform basic tabular and regression analyses, and to subset and extract variables and cases of interest in popular file formats (e.g., SAS, SPSS, and Stata). The ability to search all levels of metadata, from study title, abstract, and keywords, down to variable values and value labels, and the capacity to link search results to important contextual metadata is unique to the Nesstar system: SDA, DataFerret, and ICPSR's homegrown systems do not offer equivalent capabilities. Because the web-based user interface for our Nesstar archive is accessible to potential data users with a wide range of computing skills and statistical experience, and because we do not charge a membership fee or otherwise restrict access to our online archive, we can provide equitable, user-friendly access to a variety of end users, from high school students and advocacy groups to independent policy analysts and academic researchers. In addition, because our archive can be linked seamlessly with Nesstar-based archives around the world, data posted to BADGIR are more likely to be used for comparative and cross-national studies than are studies posted to an isolated project or archival website. We are in good company here: other data archives powered by the Nesstar software include the East Sussex County Council and the Eastern Region Public Health Authority (in England), the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, the International Household Survey Network, the Local Government Data Unit - Wales, Norhealth (in Norway), the Australian Social Science Data Archive, DANS (the Danish Data Archive), the European Social Survey, the German Social Science Infrastructure Services and ZA, the General Social Survey (at NORC), and the UK Data Archive. Because we were one of the first users outside of the three European data Archives who participated in the development of this metadata authoring tool and web server, we were able to convince Nesstar to include a number of important modifications in content and formatting in the server-side interface with which the user interacts, and to the metadata authoring tool. Our Data Analyst/Archivist has been invited to speak about the merits of Nesstar relative to other metadata authoring and server-side browser interfaces. CDHA hosted the first Nesstar training course outside of the European Union in the first five-year funding period. Data Librarians at NORC attended this training course, and they now run their own Nesstar-powered on-line data archive for the General Social Survey.

正如1998年最初提出的那样，外部研究资源核心的目的是提供 支持威斯康星大学的研究人员 - 麦迪逊和我们的校外合作者 是或正在计划进行有关健康和衰老的研究。我们的会员是社会学家， 流行病学家，经济学家，政治科学家，公共卫生专家和医生。我们的过度骑行 目的是创建一站式商店，以允许研究人员花时间 进行研究，时期。我们的项目数据库，列出了我们的所有与衰老有关的研究项目 分支机构已经参与了，我们的项目参考书目列出了数百个与老化有关的出版物 在过去的十年中，我们的分支机构撰写了我们的动手方法的成功。 尽管两个数据核心提供的资源有限，我们的尺寸很小，并且 我们在数据社区中作为一个相对新的人的地位，我们的数据档案管理员/分析师和图书馆员被查看 作为创新，知识渊博且平易近人的团队。我们认为，这种声誉的原因之一是直接 我们对Nesstar投资的结果，Nesstar是为我们的在线数据存档提供动力的软件。这个软件套件， 由服务器软件，浏览器接口和元数据创作工具组成 次要数据用户搜索关注的数据集和变量，请通过 非常易于用户友好的钻孔文件夹风格的显示系统，执行基本表格和回归 分析，并在流行文件格式（例如SAS，SPSS和 Stata）。从研究标题，摘要和关键字搜索所有级别的元数据的能力，直至可变 值和价值标签，以及将搜索结果链接到重要上下文元数据的能力是 NESSTAR系统：SDA，TATAFERRET和ICPSR的本土系统不提供同等功能。 因为我们的Nesstar存档的基于Web的用户界面可用于潜在的数据用户 广泛的计算技能和统计经验，因为我们不收取会员费或 否则限制访问我们在线档案的访问，我们可以提供公平的，用户友好的访问权限 从高中生和倡导小组到独立政策分析师和学术的用户 研究人员。此外，因为我们的档案可以与基于Nesstar的档案无缝连接 世界，发布给Badgir的数据更可能用于比较和跨国研究 张贴在孤立项目或档案网站上的研究。我们在这里处于好方面：其他数据档案 由Nesstar软件提供支持的包括东萨塞克斯郡议会和东部地区公共卫生 当局（在英国），纽芬兰政府和拉布拉多政府，国际家庭调查 网络，地方政府数据部门 - 威尔士，诺维州（挪威），澳大利亚社会科学数据 档案馆，丹斯（丹麦数据存档），欧洲社会调查，德国社会科学 基础设施服务和ZA，一般社会调查（在NORC）和英国数据档案。因为我们 是三个欧洲数据档案中最早参与开发的用户之一 这个元数据创作工具和Web服务器，我们能够说服Nesstar包括许多 用户交互的服务器端接口中的内容和格式的重要修改， 以及元数据创作工具。我们的数据分析师/档案管理员已被邀请谈论 NESSTAR相对于其他元数据创作和服务器端浏览器接口。 CDHA主持了第一个Nesstar 在第一个五年资金期间，欧盟以外的培训课程。 NORC的数据图书馆员 参加了此培训课程，他们现在运行自己的Nesstar供电在线数据存档 一般社会调查。
