Abstract: 

The goal of this project is improve the documentation of US federal statistical system data by making it more discoverable, accessible and understandable for scientific research. The project has been named CED2AR (Comprehensive Extensible Data Documentation and Access Repository). The objective for CED2AR is to provide a facility to make standardized metadata from heterogeneous sources searchable through an online interface designed to be intuitive to researchers. Phase One, a subset of the overall CED2AR project, is to develop the search API and the web interface for user searches. This presentation of Phase One covers the following components: project background, deliverables, technical feasibility, system requirements, system and program design, user interface design, and user testing. Some these components are illustrated in this proposal.
