Updated article

[edit]

Since the Nesstar article is nominated for deletion I've come back to make some revisions. What's noteworthy about Nesstar is the role it played in supporting the growth of social science data sharing and the development of associated technologies (particularly DDI) when no other tools existed to provide that. When end-of-life was announced for Nesstar, repositories scrambled to find alternatives and to date there appears to be no single piece (or suite) of software that fully fills that gap. As those organizations are starting to complete their Nesstar replacement projects, I expect to be able to reference more official, published sources that describe that Nesstar-filled gap. I've just had a hard time retrieving these documents, discussions, etc. since so much of it happened 20+ years ago, in part via platforms that no longer exist and weren't archived. I started the article last year because I was surprised that, given that history, there was nothing about Nesstar in Wikipedia. In general, I find the coverage of metadata standards and tools for research data management in Wikipedia is quite lacking. Aliciabedul (talk) 19:54, 4 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
