The discovery and design of social data documentation systems is an interesting issue for comparative social research. Their design is based on a conceptual model of metadata, which is a complete representation of the methodology of comparative research and must support all the functions required for its entire production cycle. A documentation system is both a metadata management system and a data management system. Thus, it must adequately manage various metadata and at the same time different types of data.
