Call for abstracts: NADDI 2016: Document, Discover, and Interoperate (April 6-8, 2016)
NADDI 2016: Document, Discover, and Interoperate will be April 6-8, 2016 at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
The North American DDI (NADDI) user conference provides opportunities for all who are actively using or are interested in learning about this community-developed metadata standard for observational research data. NADDI 2016 will be a three-day conference consisting of hands-on workshops (April 6) and both invited and contributed presentations (April 7 & 8).
This year’s conference theme is ‘Document, Discover, and Interoperate’.
The full power of DDI is exhibited through its applications in documenting, discovering, and interoperating data. These are activities that sustain the flow of vital information throughout a research project. Through the use of DDI, this research information is defined, identified, structured so that it can be shared predictably with other applications or be machine-actionable.

- Abstract submission closes: January 15, 2016
- Notification of abstract acceptance: January 29, 2016
- Presenter's deadline to register: March 18, 2016
