DDI's origins lie in structuring metadata for quantitative data, data represented by numbers or by a set of values that can be tabulated. Many researchers though, generate or analyze unstructured data, text documents, images, video, sound recordings and more. In 2010 the DDI Alliance formed a DDI working group (http://www.ddialliance.org/alliance/working-groups#qdewg) charged with "developing a robust XML-based schema for qualitative data exchange (compliant with DDI) and encourage tools development based upon these needs". This presentation will report on the progress of that group and describe the state of the DDI Qualitative Data Model as of the working group meeting in Bergen, Norway in November 2012. A discussion period for feedback on the model will follow the presentation.
