Call for Expression of Interest: Dagstuhl DDI-CDI Workshop Oct 7-11, 2024 ‘Aligning Technology Architectures with Cross-Domain Metadata Models’

To Whom It May Interest:
 
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.
