European DDI Conference 2021: Training Fair. Track 2B: DDI Lifecycle tutorial

The DDI Training Group organized a series of tutorials around the 2021 European DDI Users Conference. This included a general overview of the DDI standards on Friday 26 November, followed by a series of more detailed tutorials and a session describing the software tools and services available for implementing DDI, all on Monday 29 November 2021.  A short description of each session is available here, along with recordings and presentations.

DDI Lifecycle addresses the needs of metadata management not only for archives and data disseminators, but also throughout the data lifecycle, from data collection and survey design through the end stages. It is also a useful tool for understanding how related data sets fit together, whether as a longitudinal or repeat cross-sectional effort, or through ad-hoc comparison and harmonization. A range of topics will cover a broad description of the specification, as well as providing focus on specific aspects of the standard for metadata and data management. Presenters include Wendy Thomas, Hayley Mills, Kaia Kulla, and Benjamin Beuster.
