<div dir="ltr">
<div>DDI Users we need your input!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For a number of years DDI has been publishing Controlled Vocabularies for use with both DDI-Codebook and DDI-Lifecycle. These have been published in a number of formats:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>HTML for web display and exploration</div>
<div>XML (Genericode format) for production use</div>
<div>XSL the format used for development </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>While we know a large number of organizations are using the intellectual contents of these Controlled Vocabularies (particularly within the CESSDA network), we need to know how many are referencing and/or incorporating the Genericode format XML in their
work. The new CESSDA CV management tool is allowing DDI to update their production and publication process for Controlled Vocabularies. This means a number of new format possibilities. These include:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>SKOS (RDF) representation</div>
<div>DDI-Lifecycle CodeList</div>
<div>JSON</div>
<div>HTML - for display and exploration</div>
<div>GENERICODE (XML) to support current users</div>
<div>XSL to support current users</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We need to know from the community of users which format are currently being used as well as which formats would be useful if made available. Please let us know your ideas!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you for your help,</div>
<div>Technical Committee and Controlled Vocabulary Group</div>
