About the DART Project
Project Aims
This project is a collaboration between the University of Washington and research institutions in Thailand to provide online access to qualitative and quantitative research data on Thailand to multiple research communities, in both English and Thai languages. A scalable, extensible and interoperative set of web resources that rely on standard web applications is the end product of a project plan consisting of three components: 1) development of best practices for digital archiving of multiple-format research data, including rights and cultural property management; 2) metadata and system design; 3) surveying, aggregating, normalizing and cataloging data for control by a central registry at the University of Washington (UW).
