Leveraging the DDI Model for Linked Statistical Data in the Social, Behavioural, and Economic Sciences

This paper was part of the proceedings of the International Conference on Dublin Core and Metadata Applications, Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia, September 2012, p 46–55. It focuses on the RDF representation of DDI and the DDI conceptual model.

DDI-RDF Discovery Vocabulary: A Metadata Vocabulary for Documenting Research and Survey Data

This paper was part of the Pproceedings of the 6th Linked Data on the Web (LDOW) Workshop at the World Wide Web Conference (WWW), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, May 2013. It focuses on the DDI-RDF Discovery Vocabulary – based on a subset of the DDI - which supports the discovery of statistical data as well as metadata.

Towards the Discovery of Person-Level Data - Reuse of Vocabularies and Related Use Cases

This presentation was part of the Proceedings of the 1st International Workshop on Semantic Statistics, 12th International Semantic Web Conference, CEUR Workshop Proceedings, Aachen (2013).  It focuses on on the description of how other vocabularies are reused and on the description of use cases associated with the usage of the DDI-RDF Discovery Vocabulary.

Scenarios for the DDI-RDF Discovery Vocabulary

In this paper, the authors introduce representative real world scenarios that show (1) the usage and importance of the DDI-RDF Discovery Vocabulary for the social, behavioural, and economic sciences and the Linked Data community and (2) the interaction between Disco and other vocabularies. These scenarios have in common that they represent real information needs of researchers.
