摘要:THE WALES Institute of Social and Economic Research, Data and Methods (WISERD) is a major new collab-
orative socio-economic research programme involving five higher education institutions in Wales. This
paper introduces the work of the WISERD data integration team and describes their plans for the devel-
opment of an online geo-portal. Their aim is to support WISERD researchers by providing a framework for
integrating, managing and disseminating quantitative and qualitative socio-economic data in Wales. This
paper outlines the goals of this major project, discusses the concept of the WISERD geo-portal and reports
on initial investigations into geo-portal development using free and open-source (FOSS) software. The
paper concludes with a brief summary of the future work of the WISERD data integration team.
