[DDI-users] Structured Data Transformation Language (SDTL) Webinar: 2 November

[Jared Lyle]

The Structured Data Transformation Language (SDTL) Working Group of the DDI
Alliance will host a Webinar on 2 November at 10am Eastern Time to explain
the value of SDTL to the DDI community.  SDTL is a new tool for creating
machine actionable data provenance.  The webinar will describe SDTL and
explain how it works with DDI.

SDTL is an independent language for representing data transformation
commands in statistical analysis packages, such as SPSS, Stata, SAS, R, and
Python.  Commands like RECODE, MERGE FILES, and VARIABLE LABELS are
rendered in a structured format (JSON, XML, RDF) that is easy for machines
to read and process.  Command scripts translated into SDTL produce
variable-level data transformation histories, which can be translated into
natural language.  SDTL can be added to Data Documentation Initiative (DDI)
and other metadata standards for use in data catalogs, codebooks, and other
documentation.
