<p class="MsoNormal">Hello DDI community, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m wondering if there is any interest in gathering use cases and perhaps forming a small working group to identify DDI fields for inclusion in future versions of Dataverse, the open-source data repository (<a href="http://dataverse.org/">http://dataverse.org/</a>
)?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve spoken to some of you before about DDI and Dataverse, and at the 2016 IASSIST BOF there was some discussion put forward about supporting more DDI in the system. How can we support more DDI in Dataverse?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Can you reply with some use cases and potentially your interest in a WG? Ideally you will be interested in this as a Dataverse development project / contributions in some way or another.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
