<p dir="ltr">Achim,</p>
<p dir="ltr">That's correct, Canard supports:</p>
<p dir="ltr">- DDI 3.1 import and export and DDI3.2 export (again many thanks to Olof Olsson from SND for his assistance and DDI/XSLT expertise)</p>
<p dir="ltr">- Adding questions, routing and responses can be added ans edited all done through a single point and click interface. (Tutorial videos of this functionality are available here: <a href="http://bit.ly/CanardVideos">http://bit.ly/CanardVideos</a>)</p>
<p dir="ltr">- imports and exports for queXML are available and an export for lime survey will be ready by the end of the month</p>
<p dir="ltr">It also imports and exports the SSS XML format and can be used to feed Orbeon and IBM survey tools via an XForms output.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Once imported, Canard also give a live render of the survey instrument alongside the metadata that allows a user to verify questionnaire routing as the metadata is being written.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I've also been working on a generic Python based Pugin architecture that in the future will allow import and export to non-XML formats or from remote servers, with the end goal of connecting to compliant metadata registries (eg. Colectica).</p>
<p dir="ltr">Cheers, <br>
Sam.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">This is shameless self-promotion, but Canard can produce DDI3.1 and 3.2 pretty easily - <a href="http://bit.ly/canard-023" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/canard-023</a><u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Olof and I did a DDI 3.2 exporter during IASSIST this year, and did the same for DDI 3.1 import/export last year.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">It should handle the production of all of those structures except ScaleDomains and QuestionGrids.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, adding those is as easy as modifying the XSLTs that it uses. These are picked up on run time and don't need much configuration, just a little understanding about XSLT and the internal XML data format - <a href="http://bit.ly/canard_plugins" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/canard_plugins</a><u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">There have also been some additional exports for LimeSurvey and queXML written, that I'll be debuting in a few weeks at the ACSPRI conference in Sydney along with a new version of Canard and SQBL with support for new datatypes.<u></u><u></u></p>
