 Describe a social science research project that you know of, which has been based on survey data, and discuss how that same research project could be conducted using digital data resources. What kind of resources would you use? What kind of challenges do you expect to run into?

 While digital resources have their own advantages, as discussed in this chapter, there are certain types of information that cannot be collected from such unstructured data. Give examples of such types of information that can be collected only through surveys.

 Now consider a research project in which you would need to combine the benefits of unstructured data (e.g., Twitter) and structured data (e.g., surveys). In other words, your project requires that every subject in your data set provides both their Twitter data as well as responses to a set of surveys. How would you go about collecting such a mixed data set for your project?
