We are organising a workshop at Schloss Dagstuhl on October 7 – 11 2024 in Wadern Germany with a focus on DDI-CDI (https://ddialliance.org/Specification/DDI-CDI/) and its implementation. The title of the workshop is ‘Aligning Technology Architectures with Cross-Domain Metadata Models’ (https://www.dagstuhl.de/24413). While the workshop is strictly limited for space we would welcome participation from interested individuals. The topics under consideration include:

  • Syntax Representation of the DDI-CDI Model
  • Modularity of the DDI-CDI Model and W3C-DDI Collaboration
  • DDI-CDI Tools Development and Integration
  • Describing Non-Quantitative Data

The workshop will include the members of the current DDI-CDI Working Group but will also include outside experts. If you are implementing DDI-CDI or wish to learn more about it by being involved in a working group on the proposed topics and want to attend the workshop please send an expression of interest along with any questions to Arofan Gregory chair of the DDI-CDI Working Group (ilg21@yahoo.com). We would appreciate a short statement of your background in working with metadata standards and data systems and of your interest in DDI-CDI. We will prioritize those applicants who make a strong case for their contribution to the listed topics and indicate an interest in ongoing participation in the DDI-CDI WG.

Please contact us by 23 August with the above information if you are interested in participating.
