Web-based projects If you are managing a web site of your own or for your organization, you can create ADePT web projects and make them available to other analysts. This can be done as part of your data dissemination strategy, or to enable other people to replicate you results. • To create a Web-based project: a. Be sure there are no legal barriers to making datasets available on the Web. Depending on the country and type of data, special requirements must be met. These often include restrictions on respondents’ names, addresses, GPS coordinates and any other information that could be used to identify individual respondents. Remember that deleting variables in ADePT does not physically remove them from datasets, but only hides them. To be certain that all privacy requirements are met, you may need to open datasets in a statistical package and delete variables that cannot be freely distributed. b. Upload your datasets to your Web site. This is usually done by transferring the files using FTP or a content management system. Be sure the files are in a directory that can be accessed from the Internet by an HTTP request. The hosting system can usually provide guidance on which directories are accessible via HTTP. On Apache Web servers, for example, the default HTTP-accessible directory is public_html. Note: The project must use only Web-accessible datasets, otherwise other users won’t be able to analyze them. Web-accessible datasets are listed in ADePT’s Datasets tab with their URLs (http://...) and not local disk paths (for example, C:\...).
