Priorities in order of importance

1. Completely automate the production workflow (fully automated nightly builds).
2. Fill missing design decisions
3. Improve the individual tools (Drupal, bindings, etc.)
4. Clean up (content and code)

Issues

• RDF bindings? See RDF document from Richard Cyganiac.

• • Big question that might need to be addressed first: What is the purpose of doing this? Do we want to create RDF that will take advantage of the strengths of RDF? If so, we need to rethink the current RDF bindings/structure

• Get the output from lion into some automated build system.

• • Nightly build? If so, the XSLT needs to be updated - ComplexDataType and structure needs to be reviewed and updated.

• Finalize the re-structured text (.rst) output for the documentation

• Cleanup of unused stuff in lion.

• Build better views for sorting and filtering on the lion webpage.

• Integration (using Jenkins or some other tool - Bamboo is used in Atlassian)

• Some design decisions are still open -- Oliver will need some discussion to finalize the mapping to XSD

• There is no complete use case to be generated (e.g., study description).

• Problem regarding modelling: we have no mechanism to drop attributes from objects for particular views.

• Oliver will send a list of missing design decisions to Arofan and me.

As the expansion of the model-driven DDI standard continues, the need to work collaboratively and to ensure interoperability between DDI and other metadata standards becomes more apparent. To realize these goals, this workshop will bring together representatives from the following standards producing and related organizations: World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and RDF community, Statistical Data and Metadata eXchange (SDMX), Research Data Alliance (RDA), Generic Statistical Information Model (GSIM), health standards, DDI, and other related standards. The meeting will focus on the review of the current DDI work, discuss how best to work collaboratively, how to be aware of each standard’s developments, and to investigate opportunities for developing joint projects. This is a continuation of a similar workshop in 2015.

Outcomes

1. Better align of the DDI4 model with other related specifications.
2. Identify solutions to issues of interoperability for applications using multiple standards.
3. Explore future cooperation around the development and usage of metadata specifications.
