Summary:

The social sciences have made fundamental contributions to the understanding of the economic, political and social life of nations in the past century.

This work provides information on the development and use of digital resources in the social sciences emphasizing best practices; an articulation of some of the problems presented to providing these resources; and a view to the use of these resources to support sustainable development.
