Goals

• Create common list of codebook elements from sources: ICPSR, CESSDA, IHSN

Work

1) Started with ICPSR-List of Codebook elements, copied html to excel sheet

2) included sequence numbers to preserve ordering of elements

3) inserted new elements from Cessda list of codebook elements;indicated where same elements were used in both sources.

4) giving cessda new elements same sequence numbers as closest element from Icpsr. Exception: Cessda elements at the top and at the bottom got new numbers.

5) Arofan exported the IHSN element list with DDI-Codebook element names: We mapped them to DDI-Lifecycle and integrated them into the common list (update: list with explanations is also available)

6) Question: Is the structure of the codebook important to be captured (like chapters and sections and their ordering)? that would be a separate work to do.

Question: ICPSR has used:

but it cannot be found in FieldLevelDoc?
