Software/Tools

A new Web site dedicated to DDI Tools has been established at:
http://tools.ddialliance.org

The site, developed under the auspices of the DDI Foundation Tools Program, is intended for DDI users and developers and provides access to applications, software components, documentation, example files and XSL transformations that support the DDI-XML specification. It is also the home for the DDI Foundation Tools Program, an initiative aiming to provide DDI tools and application developers with a set of reusable components, operating in a harmonized environment based on open source technologies, to manage DDI metadata and their related data and resources.

Comments and suggestions are most welcomed. To comment, please contact tools@ddialliance.org
