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 metadata standards: 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
Review of current status of the work on DDI 4, especially from the perspective of the external experts.
Discuss issues of interoperability between multiple metadata specifications.
Explore possible future cooperation on the level of:
Content of specifications
Groups of metadata specifications
Know whether what we're doing is compatible with various standards that they have, and whether we have or could have value added for them.
