ParaSports Data has a lot of data about disability, disability sports and to a smaller extent disability rights. We want the database to be usable by more academics as a tool to facilitate sharing knowledge as such knowledge is key towards improving disability and human rights.
What do people want from https://para-sports.es/ that is not available? Is it a way to input data? Is it more data? Is it data on a specific topic? Is it an ability to edit? Is it easier ways to output data for reuse in other ecosystems?
How specifically the disability impacts lives and the degree to which the disability can be surmounted by particular modalities.
Dennis Mazur : Is that something that can be put into a database? What sort of existing datasets might have that data? Or is this more of an issue of intersections of different types of datasets providing an answer to this?
I ask ParaSports Data has some data about Paralympians, which often includes specific information about type of disability, etc. In some cases, such research can be done about different modalities. The best example at the moment I have of this is https://papers.ssrn.com/abstract=3280857 which is a small scale example of immigration patterns around specific types of disability. Certain types of people with disabilities appear to be more mobile than others, with elite sportspeople with intellectual disabilities being much less likely to immigrate than people with physical disabilities.
I have seen some types of data that breaks down outcomes to a degree based on modality, but it is more along the lines of employment related data or degree of government recognized disability.
