DDI Users' Listserv
The purpose of this list is to allow people who are interested in the development and implementation of the DDI specification to communicate with each other and with the committee that is guiding the development of the specification.
The current products of the DDI Committee's work are an Extensible
Markup Language (XML) Document Type Definition (DTD) and Schema that express
the DDI model. To see the specification and other information about the project,
please go to the Technical Information
page.
