DDI Metadata

[Maria]

Hi,

I would like to use the DDI metadata standard to describe interview data.  I'm not very experienced with DSpace, so my question is: can I use this standard? DDI is structured hierarchically - how could I e.g. describe a variable / a metadata field? Is something like ddi:qstn:qstnlit correct?

I'm looking forward to helpful answers - thanks in advance!

Dear Maria, 

you caould use DSpace-CRIS to manage hierarchical metadata (at the moment plain DSpace cannot do it). 

You customize the input form then map the DDI on the OAI-PMH. 

If you need more detail please consult https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACECRIS/Nested+metadata+in+DSpace+items

I hope this helps, 

Susanna
