Dagstuhl Sprint, October 2017 (Week Two)
The workshop will focus on six main areas of work:
Integration of Data Description and Data Capture
It is very important that these two core areas are integrated. Identification and resolution of issues are crucial.
Data Description
- The middle term goal is to have a Functional View with all related features of DDI Lifecycle 3.2 including mapping documentation. A core set of features should be described which are planned for publication. The work will focus on this core set.
Data Capture
- The middle term goal is to have a Functional View with all related features of DDI Lifecycle 3.2 including mapping will focus on this core set.
Modeling
- Integrative support for achieving the goals of the three Functional Views mentioned above.
- Introduction of maturity levels with indication of the maturity of classes in the library (possibly in relationship to the version). Maturity level and version information is crucial on the model level not necessarily on the level of the bindings.
Use Cases
- Description of major use cases and what DDI 4 can do for them. This work should focus in the workshops on the core sets of items which are realized in the three functional views.
Strategic Documents
- Mature drafts of documents on mission and guiding principles, strategic plan, and infrastructure vision
- Base documents:
- unpublished draft of Mission and Guiding Principles
- current strategic plan
- discussion paper on infrastructure vision started at Dagstuhl 2016
- Presentation in the annual DDI Alliance meetings 2017
- The DDI Alliance - An Independent Review of Governance, Intellectual Property Rights and Related Matters (2011)
