How the ISBSG Collects Data
Data is collected and analysed according to the ISBSG Standard. The Standard defines the type of data to be collected (nominated attributes of the project or application) and how the data is to be collected, validated, stored and published so as to guarantee the integrity of the data and the confidentiality of the organisations submitting it. The standard is implicitly defined by the collection mechanism.
The ISBSG recognises the imperative of guaranteeing the anonimity of the organisations that submit data to its repositories. The ISBSG carefully follows a secure procedure to ensure that the sources of its data remain anonimous. Only submitters can identify their own projects/applications in the repositories using the unique identification key provided by the ISBSG Administrator on receipt of a submission.
How To Submit Data
1. Use the free ISBSG Data Collection Questionnaires.
2. If you already have project/application data in electronic form, send that data to the ISBSG and we will convert, rate and load it into the relevant repository.
Once you have collected your data please forward it to the ISBSG:
- E-mail: Attach the file to the e-mail message and e-mail to the ISBSG Repository Registrar, (admin@isbsg.org). The subject line should say: ISBSG Repository Submission. Please note that ISBSG cannot guarantee the security of the transmission, however on receipt of the file, normal ISBSG security and confidentiality will apply.
