DDI, the Data Documentation Initiative, is the "codebook standard" for quantitative social datasets. This new briefing paper from the DataShare project explains the DDI as a form of metadata, how version 3 embraces a life-cycle approach to data management, and how the DDI could be exploited by OAI-compliant data repositories.
DDI and Institutional Repositories, by Luis Martinez, released 1 February, 2008.
