What is CANDDI?
CANDDI is an informal group of data professionals working with Canadian dataNo fundingNo formal governance
DINO – Dec. 200512/6/2005
What can CANDDI do for us?
CANDDI coordinates the efforts being made to create DDI marked up metadata for Canadian studies.
CANDDI is to act as a clearing house and keep people informed about what is happening elsewhere
DINO – Dec. 200512/6/2005
What can CANDDI do for us?
CANDDI will facilitate the creation of a made in Canada version of the DDI.
CANDDI will define a subset of DDI well suited for Canadian studies
CANDDI will define standards and best practices for marking up data
DINO – Dec. 200512/6/2005
What can CANDDI do for us?
If we are successful, then we will all be able to contribute to the creation of a rich collection of metadata that is easily shareable amongst our community
DINO – Dec. 200512/6/2005
What is happening
These types of collaborations are slow to develop – especially with…no fundingno formal governance structure
Things have been gently percolating since 2004We have made progressLots more to do
DINO – Dec. 200512/6/2005
What has happened
Several discussions around DDI and Metadata were happening in the community
Chuck proposed rolling this into a discussion forum in early 2004
Yahoo Group created
DINO – Dec. 200512/6/2005
What has happened
Face to face meetings held in:Montreal – Train the trainers (March)Kingston - DLI (April)Wisconsin - IASSIST (May)
RDC’s partner to look at DDI and Nesstar Looking at integrating metadata during

DINO – Dec. 200512/6/2005
What happened next
Discussions happened on-line and off-line Some expressions of interest were made Still some concerns being raised about fully
understanding what DDI was People couldn’t – see it, touch it, play with it… How does it work with our data Needed something more concrete before we
move forward…
DINO – Dec. 200512/6/2005
Getting dirty with Metadata
People were already playing with markup Get a subset of working group 2
The Canadian DDI Tag Working GroupGet something on paperSomething people can see, touch and play
withHas value that we can build on

Getting dirty with Metadata
DINO put a group together in December 2004Meetings in OttawaShared knowledgeDiscussed coordination
Training in Kingston
DINO – Dec. 200512/6/2005
What’s next from CAPDU 2005
Put in the Steering group? Should this be formal? Budget?
Start establishing the working groups Publish the suggested set of tags Get some feedback Education? Set timelines?

CANDDI - Wisconsin
On Friday, May 28, 2004 the members of CANDDI who attended IASSIST met to discuss next steps in implementing a Canadian DDI solution.
Nineteen of the current list of CANDDI members were in attendance.
A healthy discussion led to the recommendation to create five working groups.
DINO – Dec. 200512/6/2005
CANDDI –working group 1
Logistics / Coordinating-Steering Group: identify parallel activities occurring in the implementation of DDI
in Canada; from a project management standpoint identify ways of coordinating parallel DDI projects responsible for coordinating the activities of the other
four working groups recommend to the CANDDI membership a more formal
organizational model for CANDDI and its relationships with other organizations, for example, the DLI EAC.
DINO – Dec. 200512/6/2005
Working Group 1
The Logistics/Steering group is:
Dan Duda – Memorial
Stefano Biondo – Laval
Bernie Gloyne – DLI
Mike Sivyer – DLI
Ernie Boyko – Carleton

Chuck Humphrey – Alberta

CANDDI – working group 2
The Canadian DDI Tag Working Group: responsible for selecting an appropriate set of
DDI tags for Canadian data produce a document describing these tags and
annotating their use recommend this document to the CANDDI
membership for comment and revision responsible for the care of this document.
DINO – Dec. 200512/6/2005
Working Group 2
The Tag Working Group will be comprised of the following people:Michelle Edwards - Chair - Guelph DRCMarie Josee Bourgeois – DLI Irene Wong - RDC AlbertaJane Fry - Carleton Data Centre
DINO – Dec. 200512/6/2005
CANDDI – working group 3
Control Vocabulary / Thesaurus Coordination Working Group: responsible for identifying and recommending control
vocabularies including appropriate labels for variable groupings vet their findings with the CANDDI membership responsible for the care of the control vocabularies
DINO – Dec. 200512/6/2005

Quality Control: responsible for articulating best practices and
processes involved in the production of accurate and consistent DDI-compliant documentation
responsible for the care of the documentation of these practices and processes.
DINO – Dec. 200512/6/2005

Education / Training: responsible for training programs for creators
of data documentation, users of DDI-compliant documentation, and intermediaries supporting end-users
