[DDI-users] NADDI 2015

[Barry T. Radler]

*NADDI call for papers now open!*

The third annual North American Data Documentation Initiative Conference 
(NADDI2015) will take place from April 8 to 10, at the University of 
Wisconsin in Madison, Wisconsin. There will be a reception and dinner 
the evening of April 9th. NADDI is based on the successful 
European DDI conference (EDDI), now in its 6th year.To submit a proposal 
for a presentation, please visit the NADDI website and click on the

The theme for NADDI2015, /Research Data Management: Enhancing 
Discoverability with Open Metadata Standards/, emphasizes an applied use 
of DDI to research data. Meant to appeal to individuals involved in 
creating, managing and using research data, the conference encourages 
the submission of presentations that showcase the importance of DDI 
metadata for not only discovering and using research data, but as a 
practical and utilitarian principle supporting research data production 
and management. The conference also seeks presentations on current data 
service models used at other institutions and how those models might 
integrate metadata standards such as DDI into their workflows. Finally, 
because UW-Madison is home to two longitudinal studies (MIDUS and 
Wisconsin Longitudinal Study) that collect biological and other 
non-survey data types, NADDI2015 will be a convenient forum to discuss 
documenting complex use cases with DDI.
