Background information
Not much work since Dagstuhl 2015 by the Data Capture team. In general waiting to hear back on the work and in need of review.
In reviewing the team members, a few were removed due to inactivity (for various reasons) Need modeller for Data Capture
Need to do something on representation, instance questions...
Backing up and Reviewing the model:
Implemented instrument based on conceptual instrument, which organizes infinite number of 'captures' (superclass) that are associated with represented variable. Created Represented Measurement (includes question and non-question) as well as Represented question. Instance question measurement, Instrument component (the base class)
All ties into the process model with a DDI Act.
Where do we define the questionnaire flow (the sequence), the instrument itself?
What is DDI Workflow? 2014 and 2015 we had a DDI sequence.
10:55 - Arofan brings in Larry's rendering of what's in drupal - the workflow
Defining an Act (instructional command= command code, but not applicable for asking a question) Command code is part of instrument component.
Workflow service - not applicable for specifying questionnaire, i.e. for setting the conditional?
Workflow has a sequence, acts are ordered by the workflow sequence
Instance question = act
Conceptional instrument has workflow sequence (concrete). Workflow sequence is control construct, has properties that say instance Q1 (act1), followed by Instance Q2(act2)
How to order them? Collection pattern? or the sequential sequence? (Some stuff should be pushed to methodology?)
Dan = wants to get some response domains defined.
Issue: How to describe what the actual response domain is?
Goal - Basic questionnaire, workflow
**If methodology needs more informaiton about an act, then they should add it to their patterns.
