Nectar Publisher – progress towards a functional open source dataset documentation tool

Members of the DDI Developers group are creating a simple data documentation tool for basic dataset documentation. The goal is to develop a lightweight, client-side–only web application that supports common tabular formats. The initial concept for this tool was developed during the DDI Hackathons and resulted in a prototype with basic functionality. We have recently integrated DDIwR to provide better support for a wider range of formats while still running entirely client-side in the browser. This short presentation will report on the current status of the project and provide usage examples.
