Description
As the DDI community continues to grow and its user base expands, the demand for sharing and accessing metadata in this format is steadily increasing. This presentation shares our experiences in collecting DDI codebook metadata records using the OAI-PMH protocol from diverse repositories. We will demonstrate the tools and processes employed to access and extract DDI metadata elements and the technical challenges encountered during the data acquisition process, such as prefix normalization issues and the current state of data provision will be shared. In addition, we hope to discuss how to facilitate data collection standardization through OAI-PMH and foster the wider sharing and utilization of DDI metadata for academic research.
