The DDI Alliance and CODATA sponsored a workshop titled “Aligning Technology Architectures with Cross-Domain Metadata Models” held at Schloss Dagstuhl – Leibniz Center for Informatics in Wadern, Germany from October 6 to October 11, 2024.  The main focus of the workshop was on the DDI-CDI specification, which is now going through the approval process at the DDI Alliance for its 1.0 release.
