Codebooks Converted from OSIRIS Format

These codebooks were converted from OSIRIS format to DDI Version 1 using a program written by Jon Brode, ICPSR. This activity was funded by the National Science Foundation (SBR 9617813).

Note that while the markup for these files is complete in terms of variable-level information, the files have limited study-level markup, i.e., most of the study-level information is included in the Abstract element. We intend to perform additional markup at the study level as time permits.

ICPSR is currently building XSL stylesheets to render these XML documents directly into HTML. In the interim, the "view" link enables you to view the raw XML by use of XSP; the "download" link enables you to download a zipped version of the xml. If you have trouble viewing these files, please contact web-support@icpsr.umich.edu.
