As DDI can document the whole census and could record the relationship between the original questions, the concepts, the variables, the geography through to data output, it could enable the possibility of being able to provide rich content to census users, by including the definition of what the data is as part of the output and a way for the census user to explore and discover more about how the data was created.

Any thoughts/ comments welcome
