Regrets: Dan, Catharina, Kaia, Cat

  • Currently working on:

  1. Concepts deck - new version from Dan June 27 - Hayley and Kathryn reviewed and provided feedback; Dan sent new version for review July 24 - Kathryn and Hayley reviewed during meeting and a new version will be sent out to slide group

  2. Unit type slide deck - reviewing this deck together; revisit slide 11 (refer to links below); left off at slide 15 (summary of definitions) - revisit newest version (July 24) in Aug meeting

    1. Universe — DDI Data Documentation 3.3 0.1 documentation

    2. Universe — DDI Data Documentation 3.2 0.1 documentation

    3. https://ddialliance.org/Specification/DDI-Codebook/2.5/XMLSchema/field_level_documentation.html - codebook

    4. old page style: https://ddialliance.org/Specification/DDI-Codebook/2.5/XMLSchema/

  3. DDI_for_researchers_and_data_managers - new version with slide 21 change - await slide group feedback

    1. Feedback received: might be still to abstract for some people; the term machine actionability is not well known. Maybe this can be an idea for future slides to also give an idea/example what this term means and what kind of benefit the research community can get if all research data is machine actionable, meaning also semantically interoperable. This would allow for automated data merging/linking for example which is very time consuming if it cannot be done automatically.

      This is about the future vision of (social) science which will be more and more computer and data science driven.

    2. update - Hayley and Kathryn made final edits and it is ready for SB.

  4. DDITL_12_1_0_Data_Quality_Webinar - no updates

  5. Understanding metadata deck - update - consider having two group members finalize this deck - we need to decide on a consistent message about structured/unstructured metadata; slide 29/providing an example of schema vs textual

  6. How_to_use_the_DDI_Training_Materials slide deck - update - Hayley and Kathryn made final edits and Kathryn will request feedback from TG along with discussion point below- Cat reviewed and provided feedback: we probably don’t need page 11 about the DDI logo as it’s already covered on page 6 (done)

    1. Discuss with TG: we should consider having a (google) document or page for suggested slide decks to be used together instead of in the slide deck to avoid version issues

  7. Implementing fair with DDI - awaiting Training Group review and feedback - extended feedback period til the end of July; 2 reviewers have said it looks good and have no edits - Kathryn will send to TG chairs - it’s ready for SB

Outstanding slide decks and actions:

  1. Programmer’s Intro to DDI - Dan, Arofan - on hold for now

    1. Older technical slide deck examples: Gesis box Review WG DDI_OldTechSlides.zip.

      1. Ensure that these are used when more technical/detailed slide decks are produced.

    2. Maybe there will be hackathon content we can use - KL emailed Ingo about intro content

  2. Questions and questionnaires slide deck - part of Training Fair for EDDI - low priority at this time

    1. Hayley has a newer version from when she presented; will share when we finish the other slides
