Purpose
Description of view

This document describes all the elements that might be used to record information on the beginning phases of a research study, such as an analysis plan, sampling method, weighting strategies, funding information, and infrastructure requirements, which can be combined into a Data Management Plan.

Proposed by

Moving Forward Project

This list is a formal description of a functional view for DDI4.  Functional views are a list of elements and restrictions on their properties and relationships.  Functional views can be used to create XML schemas and/or RDF vocabularies.

 This includes (in general terms) the following stage in the GSBPM:

  • Step 1: Specify Needs/Evaluate

See GLBPM work by Jon and Barry: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmjuyyBzwvcodE9Qam5HbFhJRTV6U19rbnY5WUVZZEE&usp=drive_web#gid=1

 

This small group developed some XML for their content, created an XSLT spreadsheet, and then showed the output of what they are calling Study Inception (given below)
