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.
