About the Observatory

The Observatory will optimise and provide continuity in data collection, enabling the study of long-term trends and supporting the integration of these long-standing data collections with the wider ODISSEI infrastructure. Continuity is a prerequisite for the study of crucial social questions such as how people’s lives are affected by the times in which they live and how their lives develop over time.

The Observatory is a work stream in the ODISSEI Roadmap project. The other work streams are the Data FacilityLaboratory and Hub.

The Observatory consists of four tasks:

  1. Data collection
  2. Linking to HSN data
  3. Linking to the OSSC
  4. Media Content Analysis Lab
