How DDI became an ISO/PAS 25955 standard and the role of the DC community in this process
This talk is a follow-up to a panel from the last DCMI to give updates on the recent activities. In March 2026 the Data Documentation Initiative (DDI) technical document DDI Common Core was successfully published as an ISO standard, with significant support of members of the Dublin Core community. The presenters will briefly introduce the DDI product suite (including the Common Core), the embedding of DC in DDI, the process of the ISO/PAS certification of DDI and DC’s role in the overall process.
