Rome wasn’t built in a day These types of collaborations are slow to
develop – especially with… no funding no formal governance structure
We have made progress Lots more to do

Chuck proposed rolling this into a discussion forum in early early 2004
Yahoo Group created
CANDDI – 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
creation of survey vs. retro-fiting
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.
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.
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.
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
CANDDI- working group 4
Quality Control: responsible for articulating best practices and
processes involved in the production of accurate and consistent DDI-compliant documentation

of data documentation, users of DDI-compliant documentation, and intermediaries supporting end-users
promoting their training program for use with existing training conducted by DLI and other appropriateorganizations.
CANDDI - 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 Maybe we need something more concrete
before we move forward…
CANDDI – getting dirty
People were already playing with markup Maybe we start with a subset of working

Sharing Files Should we track? If so, how and where in the codebook? Who’s doing what?
