[DDI-SRG] ODIN & DDI?

[Pascal Heus]

All:
please find  below a link to the ODIN software used in Germany for 
survey data collection.
http://www.niposoftware.com/index.asp?p106r06=FH
It is developed by a Dutch company called NIPO software.
I noticed that they support an output to triple-S 
(http://www.triple-s.org/), an XML for survey metadata (that we looked 
at during the DDI 3 initial phase).

Couple of things this makes me think of:
- Should the DDI Alliance (maybe through the UOG group) contact NIPO 
Software to see if they are interested to support DDI in future releases 
of ODIN? I'm not sure how much market penetration ODIN has, maybe our 
DANS colleagues may know more about it?
- Should we (DDI-TIC) look into publishing mappings between triple-S and 
DDI?  I've heard that triple-S popularity has grown in recent years so 
this could be useful document / transform to have handy

best
Pascal
