Codebook Tasks
- Evaluation of the DDI 4 Codebook Functional View in terms of facilitating the deposit of data in an archive
- Create DDI 4 version of existing DDI-C instance
- study level, variable, questions, source info
- document issues including entry, serialization, documentation, etc.
- Identify any gaps against DDI-Codebook (DDI 2.5)
- Create DDI 4 Codebook Functional View specific documentation
- Qualitative written assessment of the DDI 4 Codebook Functional View to accompany the official review
- Discuss identification issue
- Identify desired DDI Lifecycle functionality
Modeling Team and TC Tasks
- Provision of a main document for DDI 4 providing a common understanding of the goals of DDI 4 based on current understanding. The audience for the document includes people involved with the Moving Forward Project, DDI Alliance members, and the public. This should be organized in a way that appropriate sections can be used as part of the high level Class Library documentation as as a common section for the high level document for each Functional View.
- Review of package integration including where packages touch, how information passes between packages, how overview or strictly descriptive classes relate to more detailed/machine-actionable classes, and how this is expressed in Functional Views.
- Perform a coverage and gap review between DDI 4 and DDI-Lifecycle (DDI 3), and DDI 4 and GSIM. Determine how this affects the on-going development of DDI 4 and DDI-Lifecycle (DDI 3)
