Sumario:A main topic of investigation at the COMPASS experiment is the spin structure of the nucleon. This article reports on the experimental procedure to measure the spin-dependent structures functions of the valence, non-strange and strange quarks in polarised deep inelastic scattering. The dependence of the results for the strange quark polarisation on the fragmentation functions is discussed.
