Fine idea, and can just a couple of pieces of information myself.  The standard is increasingly being used—and being described—as a standard to document observational data, of all sorts (including ecological and medical data). A section of the DDI web site profiles projects in which it’s used:
http://www.ddialliance.org/ddi-at-work/projects.  Some examples of projects in other areas:

MIDUS Series -- Midlife in the United States: A National Study of Health and Well-Being<http://midus.colectica.org/>
The National Survey of Midlife Development in the United States (MIDUS) is a collaborative, interdisciplinary investigation of patterns, predictors, and consequences of midlife development in the areas of physical health, psychological well-being, and social responsibility.

The Tromsø Study<http://tromsoundersokelsen.uit.no/tromso/>
The Tromsø Study was initiated in 1974 in an attempt to help combat the high mortality due to cardiovascular diseases in Norway. The primary aim of the Tromsø Study was to determine the reasons for the high mortality rate, and also to develop ways of preventing heart attacks and strokes. The study was gradually expanded to include many other diseases.
And I know another user is the University of Washington, Center for Studies in Demography & Ecology (CSDE)<http://csde.washington.edu/>

Hi,
Does anyone have examples of a DDI for subject areas other than the social and behavioral sciences?

Any assistance will be appreciated.
