address both the functional requirements of data users and their varied software tools, and the archival needs of an archival agency. Finally, I will discuss some approaches I have been exploring for further addressing the problems of documentation targeted in this research. The disciplines and their aspects that may be useful are primarily techniques of knowledge representation in artificial intelligence, elements of traditional library science, and considerations of data theory and dimensional analysis. The eventual goal is a formal model of social science data and its analysis which can directly guide the design of documentation and metadata.
