[Repec-data] Welcome

['Christian Zimmermann']

Hello all,

I wish to welcome you all to this mailing list. Not everyone is back from 
vacation yet, but I want us to get started on a few things. With this 
email I want to present who is participating. In a follow-up, I will 
provide some background.

Currently we have on the list (a couple may join us later):

Shaida Badiee, World Bank, Development Data Group
Amparo Ballivian, World Bank, Open data projects
Jose Barrueco, Universidad de Valencia, RePEc team
Kit Baum, Boston College, RePEc team
Pascale Cissokho-Mutter, OECD, Publishing metadata
Merce Crosas, Harvard University, Dataverse
Thomas Krichel, Novosibirsk State University, RePEc team (founder)
David Levine, Washington University and European University Institute, 
Experimental data archive
Keith Taylor, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, FRED
Christian Zimmermann, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, RePEc team and 
FRED

We have people dealing with very different kinds of data, and I hope that 
will help defining good metadata standards that can be applied broadly.
