Data selection and appraisal play an important role in the acquisition of data in any archival setting. The collections policy indicates the principles and criteria by which the archive develops its data collection in order to serve the designated community. In terms of acquisition, the FORS unit Data and research information for the social sciences (DARISS) aims to keep up with current trends and developments to meet future demands.
