[DDI-SRG] [DDI-All] DDI Agency Registry

[Mary Vardigan]

Dear DDI community,

 

As more and more DDI instances are created, we need a mechanism to
identify the creators and maintainers of these instances uniquely. To
address this, the DDI Alliance and partners are working to establish a
global online registry of agencies and organizations. This is an
ambitious project that may take some time to implement. In the meantime,
we are providing an unofficial preregistration form to enable
organizations to request and reserve unique identifiers in the future
registry. 

 

You can find the form itself at 

 

http://tools.ddialliance.org/?lvl1=community&lvl2=agencyid

 

On this page you will also find some explanatory information about the
process and a list of those organizations that have already
preregistered. We encourage everyone using DDI (whether DDI 2 or 3) to
preregister to reserve an identifier. This will help us as we begin to
exchange DDI documents on a global scale. 

 

Thank you,

Mary Vardigan, DDI Alliance Director
