title2017_01_17 Simple Codebook Minutes

Simple Codebook Meeting 2017-03-14

Attendees: Dan Gillman, Larry Hoyle, Oliver Hopt


Looking into Larry's YAML template, which is very usefull for identifying classes with to much detail modeled.


Reduction is absolutly neccessary


A lot of things could be reduced to just a URI. This will include ExternalControlledVocabulary, ExternalMaterial.

If interoperability is needed for the content of these classes, it will be possible to download through the URI. The most cases with interoperability will be those that rely on DDI data, which will be identified directly by the prefix of the URI.


This is to be discused within the modelling team.

Simple Codebook Meeting 2017-01-17

Attendees: Jared Lyle, Dan Gillman, Larry Hoyle


The group discussed the remaining needed information items for simple codebook from the google sheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VDbVz2KRRSX_KEf0IfuE-QqMyTDupftCZfBdBM6VPT8/edit#gid=294218085

We discussed Embargo and Security. Do these need to be attached to more than Study and InstanceVariable?

For the Methodology related items we discussed creating realizations of the Methodology class.


This raised questions to be raised with the Modeling group:


Where does Embargo go?  (one proposal: in Annotation)

               Or Embargo relationship from InstanceVariable

Where should security information go? (one proposal: in Annotation)

               Access from InstanceVariable

 


Make a Methodology realization   to use overview for:

               TimeMethodology  (0..1)

               SamplingMethodology  (0..1)

               DataCollectMethodology (0..1)

… (more)

               OtherMethodology  (0..n)

 


InstanceVariable (ConceptualVariable?) points to            

               derivationMethodology

 

 



Need Methodology at the high level - do we need all of the classes it relates to as well?

For derivation we need to add Design and Algorithm 


General question for modeling- how do you add in just part of a pattern?

Codebook meeting

2 February 2016

Attending: Dan, Michelle, Steve, Oliver, Jon, Larry, Jared

There’s some lack of clarity about where this group is at.  Discussed what to include in simple codebooks.  One idea is to review the spreadsheet of common elements (summary of CESSDA) and build on that.  Essentials seem to include: enough information to read the data into statistical package, label values, understand universe, understand what measure means so you can interpret the data, attribution information.  Another idea is to look at examples of simple codebooks, identify what they use, and then map to a model.

We need to be careful to keep things simple.  Even older versions of DDI 2 weren’t exactly simple.

If we nail down definitions, then do we make instances of previous versions incompatible?  As we define what information elements we want in DDI 4.0, we can specify which element you want in 2 if you’re going backwards.  

Next steps:

  • Michelle will go through spreadsheet and narrow down to those elements that are DDI Lite and any others that are heavily used (e.g., key words).

  • Will paste those elements into new sheet within the spreadsheet.
