Her Ethnographic Database Project is hosted at UCL EDP: "The EDP is a web-based tool for the collection of comparative ethnographic data. It allows anthropologists to enter data about their field research using a set of standard codes (also see the SCCS) developed for cross-cultural application.

At present, the codes included in the EDP relate to a society’s organisation, kinship and marriage practices, subsistence economy, and pattern of sexual division of labour."
