4th May - An introduction to metadata and the Data Documentation Initiative
Join us for a half day workshop, "An introduction to metadata and the Data Documentation Initiative (DDI) standard". We’ll explore the foundations of research data, metadata, and metadata standards, building a shared understanding of the concepts that underpin high quality data documentation. The session will focus on the DDI standard - the most commonly used social science metadata standard - and will include practical activities and group discussions to help you put the ideas introduced in this workshop into practice.

5th May - Digital archiving, the how’s the what’s and the why’s
- A discussion and workshop on the necessities of digital archiving, the need for awareness raising for users, and the considerations around different data types. We will discuss what one needs to build, upkeep, and develop a digital archive, and how these goals can be achieved. Following the presentation, group activities will further encourage discussions.

5th May - Law and order (of things)
- How does the law influence the archivists’ tasks? Many archival aspects are regulated by national and European law. Data in particular is heavily regulated at the European level. How does the law understand the archive, data, metadata, research, an original work, an author? As archivists and data stewards it is important to understand how this influences the rights within the archive and the obligations of (digital) archives, but how to apply them in practice? These questions will be tackled in this workshop, alongside a broader introduction and discussion on the applicable laws.
