Query Expansion for Survey Question Retrieval in the Social Sciences

Abstract: In recent years, the importance of research data and the need to archive and to share it in the scientific community have increased enormously. This introduces a whole new set of challenges for digital libraries. In the social sciences typical research data sets consist of surveys and questionnaires. In this paper we focus on the use case of social science survey question reuse and on mechanisms to support users in the query formulation for data sets. We describe and evaluate thesaurus- and co-occurrence-based… Show more

“…11,12 These approaches are used to create a variety of search tools for specific disciplines 22,23 and data types. 24,25 Studies of users' practices are not as prevalent. A small body of work examines how users seek and evaluate data within disciplines, 26,27,28 across data-related professions 29 or within data repositories.…”

“…Researchers are often interested in only one data point or survey question. Details about the operationalized variables or measured constructs usually are not present when examining individual questions in isolation (Dulisch, Kempf, & Schaer, 2015). Social scientists also need archival documents, images, videos, and interview data (Karcher, Kirilova, & Weber, 2016).…”

“…Based on the DDI standard, it is possible to give access to variables and questions from surveys to researchers who want to reuse them in their own studies. A number of data archives and institutions provide information systems for that purpose, e.g., ICPSR, Q-Bank 6 , American National Election Studies 7 , UK Data Service and Survey Data Netherlands 8 . The interlinking of publication and research data and the deep data model of surveys raise some retrieval problems.…”

“…One solution proposes the integration of research data and publications based on ontologies and statistical methods that can link down to the questions and variables level [23]. Query expansion on these levels can support retrievability [6], but also human or automatic indexing on all these levels would help [8].…”
