Description:
This section allows for the inclusion of other materials that are related to the study as identified and labeled by the DTD/Schema users (encoders). The' materials may be entered as PCDATA (ASCII text) directly into the document (through use of the "txt" element). This ection may also serve as a "container" for other electronic materials such as setup files by providing a brief description of the study-related materials accompanied by the attributes "type" and "level" defining the material further. The "URI" attribute may be used to indicate the location of the other study-related materials.
Other Study-Related Materials may include: questionnaires, coding notes, SPSS/SAS/Stata setup files (and others), user manuals, continuity guides, sample computer software programs, glossaries of terms, interviewer/project instructions, maps, database schema, data dictionaries, show cards, coding information, interview schedules, missing values information, frequency files, variable maps, etc.
Note that Section 2.5, Other Study Description Materials, should be used for materials that are primarily descriptions of the content and use of the study, such as appendices, sampling information, weighting details, methodological and technical details, publications based upon the study content, related studies or collection of studies, etc. This section, 5.0 Other Study-Related Materials, is intended to include or to link to materials used in the production of the study or useful in the analysis of the study.
The "level" attribute is used to clarify the relationship of the other materials to components of the study. Suggested values for level include specifications of the item level to which the element applies: e.g., level=datafile; level=studydsc; level=study. The URI attribute need not be used in every case; it is intended for capturing references to other materials separate from the codebook itself. In Section 5, Other Material is recursively defined.
Description: A short description of the parent element. In the variable label, the length of this phrase may depend on the statistical analysis system used (e.g., some versions of SAS permit 40-character labels, while some versions of SPSS permit 120 characters), although the DDI itself imposes no restrictions on the number of characters allowed. A "level" attribute is included to permit coding of the level to which the label applies, i.e. record group, variable group, variable, category group, category, nCube group, nCube, or other study-related materials. The "vendor" attribute was provided to allow for specification of different labels for use with different vendors' software. The attribute "country" allows for the denotation of country-specific labels. The "sdatrefs" attribute records the ID values of all elements within the Summary Data Description section of the Study Description that might apply to the label. These elements include: time period covered, date of collection, nation or country, geographic coverage, geographic unit, unit of analysis, universe, and kind of data.
Description: Lengthier description of the parent element. The attribute "level" indicates the level to which the element applies. The attribute "sdatrefs" allows pointing to specific dates, universes, or other information encoded in the study description.
