Non-Numeric, Non-Code Datums
Introduction
Initial discussion within the WG regarding the combination of traditional numeric and coded datums, and other non-traditional ones such as segments of free text, images, video, sound files, etc.
This group would look at the utility and further description of such non-traditional datums within traditional data sets, and how the DDI-CDI model could be adapted to describe them
This is not an approach to describing qualitative data, but those data sets which combine traditional datums and those of a more qualitative character
Outputs: Use cases and recommendations for the DDI-CDI model
Planned Deliverables
Document proposal for how DDI-CDI should address this
Based on W3C annotations model
Describe the data/resources which are inputs for analysis - avoid describing the methodology/analysis itself.
Background Material
W3C Web Annotation Data Model, W3C Web Annotation Vocabulary
Application of this approach in the DDI-CDI model: data type TextPositionSelector (not used yet) and super data type Selector
