DDI Lifecycle 3.3 Public Review

Purpose of Review

The purpose of the public review is to obtain feedback and evaluation of changes made to DDI Lifecycle 3.2 for the purpose of improving the detail of coverage, supporting content required by current users, and improving the flexibility of the structure of schemas. DDI 3.3 also is being used to provide an implementation test of the COGS production system for generating documentation from the schema contents plus content provided in RST format. This approach allows for more automated updates as well as providing source materials which may be used for training and publication. The public review will last a minimum of 6 weeks through 3 August 2018. Review comments are entered on the Jira issue tracker for DDI Lifecycle and will be addressed as they are received by the Technical Committee. A change log will be maintained and development work will be accessible as it is completed. Instructions for access to this work will be posted on this page once this work has begun.
