[Rdap] NADDI call for papers now open!

[Brianna Marshall]

NOTE: Apologies for cross-postings. I am sharing this on behalf of the NADDI planning committee. I encourage librarians and graduate students with an interest in research data management to attend. The organizers are very interested in hearing from the library community - whether you are already familiar with DDI or not, we're hoping you'll consider presenting as well. If you have any questions about the conference, please feel free to reach out to me!


The third annual North American Data Documentation Initiative Conference (NADDI2015) will take place from April 8-10 at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, Wisconsin. There will be an opening night reception on April 9th. NADDI is based on the successful European DDI conference (EDDI), now in its 6th year.

To submit a proposal for a presentation, please visit the NADDI website and click on the PRESENT tab at the top:

The theme for NADDI2015, Research Data Management: Enhancing Discoverability with Open Metadata Standards, emphasizes an applied use of DDI to research data. Meant to appeal to individuals involved in creating, managing and using research data, the conference encourages the submission of presentations that showcase the importance of DDI metadata for not only discovering and using research data, but as a practical and utilitarian principle supporting research data production and management. The conference also seeks presentations on current data service models used at other institutions and how those models might integrate metadata standards such as DDI into their workflows. Finally, because UW-Madison is home to two longitudinal studies (MIDUS and Wisconsin Longitudinal Study) that collect biological and other non-survey data types, NADDI2015 will be a convenient forum to discuss documenting complex use cases with DDI.
