CESSDA releases the new version of the CESSDA Metadata Validator & the new DDI Profiles!

CESSDA has released the next version of the CESSDA Metadata Validator (CMV). This tool, which validates DDI metadata documents against a given DDI profile, has been enhanced with new features to improve the user experience. It detects and reports any constraint violations (violations of the rules defined in the selected profile) and XSD Schema violations, so the metadata can be improved if necessary.
