SozioNet: Networking Social Science Resources

SozioNet 1 forms part of a forthcoming national social science information portal, which is currently being developed by the German Infoconnex2 initiative. Inspired by successful examples like MathNet3 or SOSIG4 , SozioNet provides access to freely available web resources with relevance to social science. It is based on a network of social science institutions and scientists, to agree on and establish common metadata standards. SozioNet implements a general infrastructure for the creation of semantically rich metadata, and for the harvesting and retrieval of relevant resources with a domain specific focus.
