International audience ; This paper addresses the difficulties generated by the archiving of data in social sciences and humanities through a case study: the set-up of a French qualitative archive, beQuali, whose first years (2006-2013) happened to be full of frictions. The article deals first with the consequences of the inflation of promises on the standardization of research practices. It then analyses the interpretative flexibility related to archiving and its difficult translation into a series of mediating objects. Lastly, the article shows the increasing disconnection between functioning and uses of the infrastructure and emphasizes some effects of the "excellence" policies on the team organization. The authors, who participated in beQuali's set-up, conclude, with the required methodological step back, that political issues related to the making of this kind of equipment have to be taken into consideration and plead for questioning further existing qualitative archives. ; Este texto analiza las dificultades para crear un banco de datos en ciencias sociales y humanas a través del estudio de una experiencia práctica: el diseño de un banco francés de encuestas cualitativas en ciencias sociales, beQuali, cuyos primeros años (2006-2013) fueron particularmente abundantes en fricciones. Primero, el artículo trata de los efectos de la inflación de promesas en la normalización de prácticas de investigación. A continuación, analiza la flexibilidad interpretativa relativa al archivo y su difícil traducción en un conjunto de objetos intermediadores. Finalmente, el artículo muestra la creciente desconexión entre la operación y el uso de la infraestructura y se destacan algunos de los efectos de la llamada política de "excelencia" en la organización del equipo. Los autores que participan en esta experiencia con la distancia metodológica que esto impone, afirman sobre la necesidad de tener en cuenta las cuestiones políticas que conforman este tipo de instrumento y abogan por una continuación del cuestionamiento de los ...

In response to the assumptions of new public management models and public or good governance, practical aspects of research in the area of public admin­istration and the development possibilities of qualitative research methods are presented in the article. Due to the fact that qualitative research has become increasingly popular in the above disciplines, data archiving and trans­parency is discussed (Moravcsik), (Yom et al.) and guidelines and principles are established (American Political Science Association). However, there is a lot of controversy among scholars (Monroe), and some examples are missing. This paper presents the challenge of 'openness' in the empirical activities (or empirical practice) of researchers. Its purpose is to present the archiving data potential from in-depth interviews on the example of a small set of qualitative data from research in the field of public administration. Firstly, the basic assumptions of new models of functioning of public administration and related consequences for researchers are described. In the second part, the challenges related to openness in contemporary public administration models are briefly mentioned. Next, the method of creating an archive from existing data, individual stages, documents, and data is outlined; it is based on the au­thor's best practice on Qualidata (American Political Science Association; Van den Eynden et al.) and DA-RT principles.1 The summary includes examples of probable opportunities and challenges related to usage of data archiving for the research in public administration and political science development.

Résumé Le présent article donne une vue générale des possibilités qui se présentent et des problèmes qui se posent à un prestataire national de services de données qualitatives, et plus particulièrement de la manière dont ces possibilités et problèmes sont liés à l'accroissement des impératifs en matière d'infrastructure, en se basant essentiellement sur le cas du Royaume-Uni. En retraçant l'histoire du service des données anglais Qualidata depuis 1994, il est possible de déterminer comment les obstacles culturels et financiers majeurs ont été surmontés, et comment de nouvelles perspectives lui ont permis de prendre un nouveau départ. La deuxième partie présente sommairement le nouveau uk Economic and Social Data Service (service des données économiques et sociales du Royaume-Uni) qui est doté d'une composante particulière de données qualitatives intégrée. Elle explique les nouvelles orientations dudit service et ses prestations annoncées, et propose quelques innovations-clés dans l'infrastructure nationale qui contribueraient largement à sa réussite. Deux éléments sont particulièrement importants, à savoir la mise en place par les bailleurs de fonds de la recherche de politiques mieux coordonnées et plus directives en matière de jeux de données en sciences sociales et une stratégie de formation aux méthodes de recherche avec une coordination au plan national qui reconnaît la valeur de l'analyse secondaire des données qualitatives. Enfin, cet article nous donne des informations précises sur un projet pilote du Royaume-Uni visant à permettre la consultation en ligne de données de recherche qualitative sur l'Angleterre du roi Édouard VII.
