The DDIEditor is the key tool in a framework of data processing tools and processes related to data processing of survey datasets. The end product is data documentation in accordance with international metadata standard of the collection of surveys.

The DDIEditor produces metadata documentation in DDI-Lifecycle.

A key objective for development of the DdiEditor is to provide users with a tool that is
- configurable
- extendable
- customisable

At the moment the DDIEditor is aimed at data processing for curation purposes (accommodating the requirements for a data archive). However, the development project plans to move forward in the direction of providing functionality for the whole data lifecycle.
This means that future user groups will range from researchers carrying out a survey to re-users of data supplying additional meta data to the original study.

We encourage interested parties to provide feedback on the product as it is as well as add additional development to the product here:
