Guide for the Documenting of Metadata Using DDI and Dublin Core Standards

DANE, aware of the need to provide greater clarity, transparency and technical trust to users regarding the process of statistical operations developed in the entity and within those institutions that are part of the NSS, adopted in 2009 an initiative based on an international statistical standard called Accelerated Data Program (ADP). This program aims to document, disseminate and preserve metadata and microdata in accordance with international standards and practices through the Nesstar Publisher tool. Similarly, this program enables the development of parameters for the presentation of the technical and methodological documents used by each statistical operation.  The need for information systems that capture and compile the information, presenting it in a friendly way to the user, and guide it according to the principles of accessibility, transparency, reliability and timeliness has increased over time. Thus the need arose of documenting with structured and standardized metadata and microdata, being of great importance the organization and maintenance of the institutional memory for the preservation of information and the data accompanying it.  This guide provides the necessary guidelines for documenting metadata and microdata through DDI and Dublin Core standards to private, academic and public entities, in order to facilitate its implementation and have a standardized resource with a common vocabulary.
