Colectica is currently in use by a variety of University survey centers, National Statistics Offices, and Data archives [1] .
History
Colectica was originally funded in part by the NIH National Institute on Aging to explore automatic documentation of computer assisted surveys.[2] This grant saw the creation of metadata extraction and flowchart creation tools for CASES, Blaise, and CSPro survey instrument source code. The functionality of these tools, originally named SurveyViz, is now bundled with the Colectica Designer.
