Content Element Detail (defined in this component only; 3/4)
GeneralInstruction
Type:
GeneralInstructionType, complex content
Coding instructions that pertain to data collection or data processing overall such as handling of non-response to questions, imputation practices, suppression rules, etc. Coding instructions should be listed separately to allow for referencing of specific processes.

<xs:element ref="GeneralInstruction"/>

GenerationInstruction
Type:
GenerationInstructionType, complex content
Instructions for recodes, derivations from multiple question or variable sources, and derivations based on external sources. Instructions should be listed separately so they can be referenced by variables in the logical product.

<xs:element ref="GenerationInstruction"/>

StandardWeight
Type:
xs:float, predefined, simple content
A standard weighting factor used by all or a group of variables within the data set.
