Session

The presentation has two parts. A version of the first part was presented at the 2022 Northern European Stata Conference.

Part 1. Securing Stata in a secure environment. Data access and logging.

At CRN, we develop a secure environment for using Stata. A short description of this work is given describing the data access and logging of data extraction (JDBC + Java plugins) and Stata commands.

Part 2. Metadata using characteristics.

In the new solution, metadata is automatically attached to Stata .dta characteristics when users fetch data from the data warehouse. The implementation is described, along with some small utility programs to use metadata, and examples of use are presented.
