Dagstuhl Sprint 2016, Week One

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 alignment of the DDI4 model with other related specifications.
2. Discuss issues of interoperability between multiple metadata specifications.
3. Explore possible future cooperation around the development and usage of metadata specifications.
