METS and DDI

  • DDI is Data Documentation Initiative, a metadata specification for the social and behavioral sciences; see http://www.ddialliance.org/.
  • DDI is considered descriptive metadata (mdSec) in METS. From http://www.loc.gov/standards/mets/METSOverview.v2.html: "Valid values for the MDTYPE element [in mdSec] include MARC, MODS, EAD...DDI (Data Documentation Initiative), FGDC (Federal Geographic Data Committee Metadata Standard [FGDC-STD-001-1998]."
