An Introduction to Metadata and DDI

Join us for a half‑day workshop, "An introduction to metadata and the Data Documentation Initiative (DDI) standard". We’ll explore the foundations of research data, metadata, and metadata standards, building a shared understanding of the concepts that underpin high‑quality data documentation. The session will focus on the DDI standard - the most commonly used social science metadata standard - and will include practical activities and group discussions to help you put the ideas introduced in this workshop into practice.
