The DDI specifications cover a wide range of needs in data production, management, reuse, and dissemination. Deciding on which specification is best depends on the organisational challenges faced, and specific requirements. This tutorial is for an audience which is unfamiliar with the DDI standards. It introduces the different specifications, and considers the uses to which standard,...

Panel survey data is often repeated to allow comparisons over time. However, questionnaires may be slightly adjusted over data collection waves - and therefore the datasets variables. Impacting the comparability, data harmonization may be required to maintain the panel data “mission”.
Based on the ELIPSS panel use case, this talk will show opportunities of a centralized metadata management...

The [domain agnostic metrics][1] adopted by FAIR data assessment tools tend to penalise metadata aggregators, like the CESSDA Data Catalogue (CDC). This became apparent during the work done for the ‘[Bulk FAIR assessment of the CESSDA Data Catalogue using the F-UJI API][2]’ (as presented at EDDI2022).
Building on that work, FAIR scores were generated by the F-UJI and FAIR EVA tools for...

In Social Sciences surveys, the dynamic relationship among survey instruments and study entities like questionnaires, variables, questions, and response formats evolve. When reusing variables, researchers may need to modify variable attributes such as labels or names, question-wording, or response scales. Therefore, explaining these relations across different waves and studies is necessary to...

A value domain is the description of the values a variable is allowed to take. The idea originated with the ISO/IEC 11179 series of standards. DDI-CDI makes use of them explicitly, and DDI-L uses the idea as well. However, metadata reuse depends on which metadata are assigned to a variable, and which are assigned to a value domain. We address this here.
We can illustrate the problem with an...
