Recent updates
New version of PDH Microdata Library
The PDH Microdata Library has been updated to the latest NADA version.Harvesting metadata between Microdata Library and Pacific Data Hub
Harvester has been setup and is now operational. All content in https://microdata.pacificdata.org/ is harvested once a day and catalogued in https://pacificdata.org/Harvesting metadata between Microdata Library and Pacific Data Hub catalogue
A harvester is currently being developed to "pull" metadata from the Microdata Library across to the Pacific Data Hub dataset catalogue to improve discoverability of these datasets.Significant increase in collections
Users will notice that in the last few weeks the number of collections (called "studies" in the Microdata Library) has gone from 138 to 570! These additional 432 studies are "placeholders" and haven't currently got any content. This allows us to add a link to all the collections in the collections calendar and then progressively add questionnaires when they become available (even if the collection is still in the field), background information, reports, microdata sets etcPacific Data Archive rebranded
The web address for the Pacific Data Library (PDL) has changed so it is now completely within the Pacific Data Hub. The new address is https://microdata.pacificdata.org and we are now calling it the Pacific Microdata Library (PML). The interface has also changed a little to match the branding/styling of the Pacific Data Hub.
