DDI at Work
DDI facilitates the creation of metadata at a variety of starting points from the hypothesis for a study through the capturing of legacy metadata. How and where one starts capturing metadata depends upon the data being described, the application within which it is used, and the organizational needs of the creators.
Benefits
Benefits to using DDI are numerous for everyone, data producers, data archivists and data users.

Use Cases
Ten DDI 3 Use Cases are now being created to highlight different DDI 3 implementations. The use cases range from data archive perspectives to data producers to the data user. These were developed in Dagstuhl at The Data Documentation Initiative [DDI] XML Standard : Workshop on Implementation of DDI3 - Advanced Topics
The topics include:
- Grouping of Data Series using DDI - CESSDA
- Comparison Use Case - ICPSR
- Building a Modular DDI 3 Editor
- Question Banking in Educational Assessment in DDI3
- ESS Use Case
- Extracting Metadata from the Data Analysis Workflow
- An Archive's Perspective to DDI 3 - FSD
- Questionnaire Management and DDI: The QDDS Case
- Questasy: Online Data Information and Dissemination using DDI3
- SDMX to DDI Metadata Mapping Use Case
