Sherlock: A Web Magnifying Glass For Microdata Files

It is important that people realize that there are no full time data librarians in any of the Quebec universities. Most universities (except McGill, Montreal and Laval) are small in size, with equally small resources. We do not have a long-standing tradition of data use as in other Canadian universities. This is why, in order to render microdata files more usable, university libraries in Quebec have pooled their resources and expertise for the development of a common infrastructure to facilitate access and use of data.
