A workshop titled "Colectica: Collaborative Data Documentation, Curation, Team Approvals, and Web Discovery Platform" introduces Colectica's new web based catalog and curation platform. The workshop explores the expanded Colectica ecosystem, including the Colectica Datasets application for viewing, improving, and publishing data files, as well as the new web-based tools for seamless collaborative editing and publication.

A paper titled "Adaptive Reference Metadata: Leveraging DCTAP and SSSOM for DDI Profiles and Mappings" will showcase a software framework that employs Dublin Core Tabular Application Profiles (DCTAP) and the Simple Standard for Sharing Ontology Mappings (SSSOM), allowing users to customize metadata profiles in the Colectica tools.

Another paper titled "Advancing Statistical Data Management:the Colectica Data Engine, DDI, and their Applications" will also be presented. The Colectica Data Engine is a versatile, platform-agnostic solution designed for handling statistical data, enabling the development of applications for curation, discovery, visualization, and analysis. It powers tools like Colectica Datasets and online platforms. It is accessible via desktop, command line, web interfaces, and APIs.

A lightning talk will be given about the new features in the upcoming DDI Lifecycle 4.0 metadata standard. Colectica will also attend both days of the DDI Alliance Developers Group Hackathon following the conference.
