Two DDI Workshops: Training and Longitudinal Data, October, Dagstuhl,
Germany
Training Workshop: Using DDI 3 to Support Production, Management,
Dissemination, and Preservation Systems for Data in the Social Sciences
and Economics
The Data Documentation Initiative (DDI) has produced an international
XML standard for the use of lifecycle information about social,
behavioral, and economics science data that informs the broad set of
disciplines addressed in the social sciences. DDI facilitates the
automation of documentation and production systems for the delivery of
this data. This workshop is geared toward the staff of data producing
agencies and archives. The five-day structure of this workshop provides
the participants with an opportunity for in-depth assistance on the
specialized features of DDI that are important to their organization’s
activities.
New features in DDI 3 support:
- metadata capture from planning and production to dissemination and
analysis
- reuse of metadata to drive subsequent production or analysis processes
- ISO 11179 compliant data registries such as question, variable, and
concept banks
- grouping of study series for longitudinal and comparative research
- capturing comparative information for the creation of harmonized data
- improved capture of archival information for data organization and
management
October 25-29, 2010 at Schloss Dagstuhl, Wadern, Germany

Expert Workshop: DDI, Managing Metadata for Longitudinal Data - Best
Practices
This symposium-style workshop will bring together representatives from
major longitudinal data collection efforts to share expertise and to
explore the use of the DDI metadata standard as a means of managing and
structuring longitudinal study documentation. Participants will work
collaboratively to create best practices for documenting longitudinal
data in its various forms, including panel data and repeated
cross-sections.
Longitudinal survey data carry special challenges related to documenting
and managing data over time, over geography, and across multiple
languages. This complexity is often a barrier to building efficient
systems for data access and analysis. The Data Documentation Initiative
(DDI), a metadata standard that addresses the full life cycle of social
science research data, is designed to provide an efficient structure for
the documentation of complex longitudinal data. In this workshop,
participants involved in longitudinal data projects around the world
will work together on issues involved in documenting longitudinal data.
October 18-22, 2010 at Schloss Dagstuhl, Wadern, Germany
