16th European DDI Users Conference, Chur

As more and more data producers and research institutions are interested in documenting their data, following the often mandatory Data Management Plan, they find themselves in need for ready to use software tools that are capable of creating and modifying a Codebook, in the vein of Nesstar Publisher.
Until such a software will appear, it is possible to fully populate a DDI Codebook using the R package DDIwR, which is capable of reading, writing, and updating a DDI Codebook versions 2.5 and 2.6.
This presentation will demonstrate how to use the command line, interactively or using an automated script, to populate the verious sections of the DDI Codebook.
