- Jane contacted Jon if we can provide EDDI with a quick update about the progress and activities of this group. Potentially in the closing session.
- Tutorials
- Arofan and Hilde - CDI DDI
- Achim - DDI CDI - code generation for developers.
- DDI-C and DDI-L - re-use the introduction tutorial from EDDI 2019 which Hilde and Benjamin did. Hilde contacted Benjamin to see if he would like to run this tutorial with Jane. ACTION: Arofan and Hilde to submit the abstract on their behalf. Due Sunday July 12.
- Webinars- CDI MRT group used to recruit reviewers for CDI. Four have been completed and four more to do. Next webinar for National statistical offices. Material could be reused for training.
- CODATA event in October, see below.
3 Reports from the sub groups - Reminder: You can use Confluence to work together as a group, Anja created sub pages for each group. If you need editor permission issues see Wendy.
- Slide Review group (Chair - Hayley)
- Most slides have been reviewed, but several still being finalised before sharing with Arofan. ACTION: Hayley to set up meeting with Arofan to discuss progress and feedback.
- Exercises
- Useful for both audience and trainers.
- ACTION: All to send any existing exercises to the WG.
- ACTION: Arofan to find and share Australian Aging longitudinal study training set exercise.
- Next step - how do we use these activities both in person and can these be used virtually? - ACTION: Slide review WG to discuss with Arofan.
- Tools
- Propose that we do not mention tools in training library slide decks, but can be referred to in tutorials as these are time specific.
- Arofan - We could give tours and run through the tool page on the DDI website.
- Jared - This will have an owner in the future so we can coordinate with them. We can use the training library as a reason to persuade people to add their tools.
- New slide decks
- Related to Gap analysis group. This working group will review the slide produced by the Gap analysis group.
- Should think about how we prioritise the creation of new slide decks (particularly detailed training), we propose that new decks are created when there are training requests or when there are DDI changes.
- Existing detailed slide decks
- There are many existing slide decks which are more low level/detailed. We need to ensure these do not get lost and are reused.
- ACTION: Hayley to share the existing slides.
- Gap Analysis group (Chair - Dan)
- Meet every two weeks usually
- Identified gaps and have started producing slides in 7/8 (see May meeting notes) areas identified.
- Not likely to be overlapping with the existing detailed slide decks.
- When a slide deck has been produced this will be sent to the Slide review Group.
- ACTION: Dan to find list of most recent gap areas and send to Anja to add here.
- Webpage Update group (Chair - Marta, Update - Jane)
- Nothing new to report
- Only had one meeting in the past month
- Still reviewing webpages
- More questions than answers regarding process
- who to change pages
- who to review and keep pages current
- Training Opportunities group (Chair - Hilde)
- Preparing for upcoming events
- Working on training request form. Soon to be finalised.
- Arofan - Report on the meeting with Simon (CODATA). Exploring opportunities to work with them in training and whether DDI can be introduced into their training.
- DDI will be presenting at the event in October.
- Lots of possibilities and networks. Six areas of activities ongoing including; a RDM summer school, centres of excellence and plugging in the library, European Open Science Cloud- using DDI training library to test their terminology.
- Discussions with GoFAIR - talking about doing something at their Symposium on Oct 22-23 (in person and virtual)
- Will need to decide how we want to work within these networks when more information about each area is known.
4 Report from the Chairs (Anja) - Still waiting to hear about the budget proposal, incl. in there is a webinar software license for Zoom webinar
- Anja’s feedback on DDI YouTube Channel
- Pre-recording videos is A LOT of work!
- I published the videos as unlisted, so only the audience had the link (this was useful as the organization paid for the course and therefore restricted the audience).
- We can post our planned intro videos there if we get the funding
- Doing webinars through YouTube can be very difficult, webinar software offers tools to better handle the audience. We should make sure to have that kind of software. We can, however, record webinars and publish them on YouTube.
- I have just run an online class using pre-recorded videos and used YouTube for it. Live sessions were on Zoom.
- GotoWebinar has been used by Arofan and Hilde and is usable but it is expensive. Zoom webinar is similar.
5 Citation for the Training Library - ACTION: Jane to move this to the top of the agenda for next meeting.
- Arofan wrote this discussion paper on how IP rights and citation for the Training Library can be handled. Aim for the paper was not to lose the past discussions.
- ACTION: ALL Everyone to read and comment before the next meeting (put comments in as suggestions)
- Create a DDI working paper which will be on the DDI website
- ICPSR is an option for producing DOIs
- Zenodo can be used to publish the slides and DOIs are automatically produced and it works well for versioning. There is already a DDI Training Group folder in Zenodo.
- How do we list everyone's names? - See Anja’s example for CESSDA
- ACTION: Anja to investigate DDI lifecycle (each release has a separate list of contributors).
- Jared says we don’t have anything to worry about IP issues, just check with them about the CC licence we will be using.
6 Metadata Tags - ACTION: Jane to move this to the top of the agenda for next meeting.
- ACTION: ALL Everyone to review the tags suggested for the resources on the website, to be discussed at next mtg
- Jane put together a Google doc so people can put their comments in
- Are there more/less to be used?
- Theme
- Introductory
- Audience

Present:Jane Fry (Carleton U), Martine Gagnon (Laval U), Dan Gillman (US Bureau of Labor Statistics), Arofan Gregory (Consultant),Chifundo Kanjala (London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine), Kaia Kulla (Statistics Estonia), Marta Limmert (Statistics Estonia), Alexandre Mairot (Stethos France - Exastat), Hayley Mills (CLOSER), Lucie Marie (Sciences Po), Hilde Orten (NSD) Regrets: Anja Perry (GESIS), Florio Arguillas (Cornell U), Alina Danciu (Sciences Po), Jon Johnson (CLOSER), Jared Lyle (DDI Director), Knut Wenzig (German Institute for Economic Research) Chair: Jane Fry; Note taker - Arofan Agenda/Notes: 1 Previous Meeting notes - May 5, 2020 Accepted - Yes 2 Round Table - DDI Training Events/Requests received - NADDI (Jane)
- 2020 cancelled largely as a result of a lack of resources to re-organize completely in the face of the pandemic. There may be webinar activity during that period, but not as a NADDI per se.
- Thank you to those who volunteered to present (Arofan, Hilde, Martine)
- NADDI 2021, May 17-19
- note that these dates have been moved up
- Dataverse Community Meeting
- June 17-19
- Virtual, Martine is doing one of the presentations on Scholar's Portal.
- Jon and Alina on organizing committee
- Deadline for abstracts is July 12th
- CoData-GoFair
- Concergence Symposium, Paris, October 22/23rd
- DDI Training to present,
- proposals due by end of July
- Training requests received
- 3 so far,
- one handled (Rebekah Silberstein)
- 2 have not replied - Hilde and Alina followed up, still waiting
3 Reports from the sub groups - Slide Review group (Chair - Hayley)
- Half of the decks in hand, Arofan has for editing
- Other half are still being looked at
- Gaps spreadsheet in coordination with Gap Analysis working group
- Scheduling another meeting soon (next month)
- US English to be used for point of style
- Gap Analysis group (Chair - Dan)
- Looked at Kaia's Data Quality slides to fill an identified gap
- Other areas are subject of proposals to be taken in turn
- Expectation is that new decks will be created in a slow/steady fashion, not as a "big bang"
- one gap at a time: several topics under construction (3+)
- Process is being established
- release-as-you-go seems likely
- Webpage Update group (Chair - Marta)
- Three principles for re-design:
- Levelled (Intro for beginners, not for experienced users)
- Terse - not too much content
- Separate sections which need frequent updates distinct from static sections
- FAIR principles: under construction - draft https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jkwdeYNo1pGF3RHujT23KngtABdzB1FSqziW7P6AfnI/edit
- Getting Started page has been problematic
- new structure identified. Philosophy: "Make it easy for the beginner - deemphasize technical aspects"
- Timing with Jared good: the overall site revision has assigned pages to the Training Group which may not be ours (profiles, markup examples)
- Training could coordinate materials coming from TC, MRT, etc.
- but does not have the expertise to author the substance of these pages.
- Could coordinate with Marketing and other groups on this.
- Hilde: these are currently not training materials, just examples.
- Needs to be explained fully
- also need to make sure they are not too outdated.
- Technical review needs to become normal part of the process:
- Training Opportunities group (Chair - Hilde)
4 Report from the Chairs - DDI Scientific Board Annual Mtg, May 18
- Agenda, check it out, all documents linked
- Anja attended for the TG
- went well
- she emphasized that we are not responsible for all of the training activities
- Comments for others who attended
- Training in the broadest sense is becoming a more central aspect of the Alliance activities, not just the Training Library
- the broad perspective was appreciated.
- Training seems to be an important strategic objective moving forward, as the SB re-organizes and becomes more active in the coming year.
- DDI Alliance Annual Meeting of Members, Tues May 26
- Agenda - check it out, all documents linked
- Jane attended for the TG
- gave a brief blurb, then described what we talk about at our mtgs
- didn’t read over our annual report as it was attached to the email sent out to members before the mtg
- the only question - what are the names of the members of this grp so they can be thanked :-)
- importance of training was mentioned elsewhere in the mtg
- but it is not all up us to organize and present
- since there will be extra money in the budget because of the restriction on travel, perhaps it could go towards more videos, webinars, …
- budget will be approved this month
- once again, this is not all up to us to do
5 Any other Business - Citation/Licensing/IP
- What citation will we use for items in the training library? Hayley raised this for CLOSER.
- The need is to cite things that have been published.
- A link from decks which use the library needs a place to cite (DOIs) which can give credit.
- Can we draft a policy statement regarding licensing, citation, and IP?
- All contributions would become IP of the DDI Alliance
- all citations would have DOIs to cite at a deck level
- explore terms of license CC flavor?
- Arofan to create initial draft. ToDo
- we will discuss this at our next mtg
- then we will run it by Jared and then by the Executive Board
- DDI YouTube Channel
- Jared just created a DDI Alliance YouTube channel, inspired by several recent requests to create and post DDI content. See here:
- No content yet
- If you have videos to post, please let Jared know. This channel can be a single source for DDI content.
- Question - Can we use this to live broadcast our webinars?
- we should do a brief video on on items in the Training Library when it is released
- Metadata tags - Everyone to review for the next mtg - ToDo
- are there more/less to be used?
- Theme

- CLOSER wants to organize webinars on practical examples of using DDI, e.g., questionnaire design and data collection; and research data management. More of a marketing event. Coordination with Jared and marketing (Barry) is needed. --> ACTION: Hayley
4 Report from the Chairs - Anja took part in Quarterly Coordination Call of the DDI Alliance (between Executive Board, Scientific Board, Marketing Group, DDI Director, and Training Group); ideas from the call:
- We should work closer to the groups that develop/specify DDI, f.ex. the CDI group to get input from them that can then be reworked into training material; they would also like to see that we give them feedback from a training perspective, so that they can implement that in further output → Gap Analysis Group?
- They want consistent images, drawings, diagrams throughout and also feedback to the same groups so that everyone uses the same style → Arofan?
- Prioritization of events in form of a training program, can be worked out with the Marketing Group → Training Opportunities Group
- Tutorials should go across domains → chairs will discuss this with the Marketing Group
- A webinar software will be available from ICPSR or from the DDI Alliance
- Update - this is not available for free so we are looking around for something else.
- Thank you all for replying to Anja’s mail!

3 Reports from the sub groups Slide Review group (Chair - Hayley) - reviewing Dagstuhl slide decks
- half way through
- get help from experts. each presentation has a report mentioning changes. version control and formatting easier with the new tool.
- making presentations more modular.
- the subgroup is meeting with Arofan in a couple of weeks.
- Arofan : important to hunt and make sure we work on the last versions of some slidedesks reviewed after Dagstuhl (on variable cascade for example).
- next step : meet and go on with the discussions. Should also check licencing and reusing slides. Ask people whether they want to donate intellectual property to the group. attribution from the Dagstuhl training group ? Make sure that everybody gets credit.
- ACTION: AROFAN to speak to Joachim on this
Gap Analysis group (Chair - Dan) - Meeting bi-weekly. Some duplication work (slide review group).
- Work not yet clearly divided between sub groups.
- Two different types of gaps :
- things not clear, elements missions
- taking the desks as a whole and reviewing on parts that are missing (more strategic).
- Where does the line need to be drawn ? Gap Analysis seems to be more strategic.
- ACTION ANJA: share link to GESIS cloud. But everybody should download it for proper use.
- Questionnaire design and the QDDT to be separate issues.
- ACTION DAN to contact Hayley (and vice versa) for better communication between the two groups.
Webpage Update group (Chair - Marta) - Define pages that need to be reviewed during the second meeting. More work than expected initially. Work with marketing group on this.
- Task of sub group: content of each side. Jared sent the link for the beta version.
- Arofan: how about DDI Alliance products like CVs? Do we want the training library to be seen as a product?
- Not yet discussed within the sub group.
Training Opportunities group (Chair - Hilde) - No meeting yet.
- Some ideas: conferences, webinars (Jon and Hayley’s suggestion), new users recruitment.
- Another task: questions discussed the last time when PORTAGE requested for training.
- Arofan to join the meeting
- Who will receive the requests for training? Keep a copy for training requests and use it as metrics so that everybody’s aware of this.
4 Report from the chairs - Arofan to edit existing slide decks (the money is from this year’s budget)
- Jane and Anja submitted our report of what the group has accomplished in the ongoing fiscal year (2019/2020) and a budget proposal for the coming FY (2020/2021).
- Jane presented the report at the DDI Executive Board meeting (April 1) and it was very well received. They will review our budget proposal at a future meeting and will let us know their decision.
- After Jane's presentation, Jared mentioned to the whole Executive that he had attended one of our meetings and was quite impressed with the enthusiasm and energy in this group. And he is looking forward to seeing this committee move forward.
- We proposed a budget of $15.000 USD for
- the creation of 4 short videos by Anja’s colleague Kristi Winters for instructional and marketing purposes
- funding travel costs to conferences to hold workshops
- professional editing of the Training Library (by Arofan)
- Workshop fee waivers at conferences (Is there an update on EDDI 2020? - Alina spoke to the EDDI Program Committee. Still waiting for an answer. Jon is chasing Jared to get some info)
- ACTION ALINA to check with EDDI LOC if billetweb, the tool used for EDDI 2020 payment, is ok for discounts.
- Further activities are proposed as in-kind contributions
- Web page update
- Training Library set-up
- Teaching at conferences and in webinars
- A webinar software will be available from ICPSR or from the DDI Alliance
- Anja’s colleague from GESIS to make short videos. Is this our responsibility or the marketing group’s responsibility?
5 Translation of teaching material - Anja talked to ELSST colleague at GESIS
- Not suitable for our purposes, the colleague recommended www.DeepL.com
- The purpose of ELSST is to find appropriate keywords for different languages, which is not just focused on translations, but also on how a certain term is used in the other language, similar to survey translation.
- PORTAGE: mandated to have all training materials in English and French. Equivalencies were set within PORTAGE so that everybody can use the correct terms.
- DEEP-L really good: uses input form different web pages.But check for wording in your native language.
- Other tools: Reverso, Linguee.
6 Any other Business - ACTION JANE: contact Jared so that everybody in the DDI Training Group is on the DDI Users list. (Dan is not on the list.)
- Hilde reported about a NSD training about DDI CDI. Some slides should be of interest for this group. A présentation was already done at EDDI by Hilde. Flavio also.
- Anyone have tips on teaching online? Jane is wondering.
- Xgame bar in Windows: easy to use way of recording a presentation you’re giving. Editable MP4 files.
