There's a reasonable primer on the DDAP web site at http://www.ddap.org

To implement properly you would need a full spec, i.e. a copy of the 
standard, but DO NOT buy the ANSI standard. That has been superceded by the 
ISO standard (ISO 12639). Unfortunately ISO standards usually cost more 
than ANSI ones, but you should be able to get a copy from DIN.
