From watteler at za.uni-koeln.de Tue Feb 1 11:10:17 2005 From: watteler at za.uni-koeln.de (Oliver Watteler) Date: Tue Mar 8 09:08:07 2005 Subject: [DDI-CDG] Drafting the proposal Message-ID: <41FFA9E9.6020901@za.uni-koeln.de> Dear CDG! The deadline for the proposal of our group approaches and we should be coming up with a draft. There is are a lot of information and ideas to be included with different priorities. I contacted each of you individually today and have received first replies. I would propose a telephone conference on Thursday morning at 10 a.m. (GMT +1.00 h; 11 a.m. Finland; early in the morning in the US) to outline further steps. Since some of you are not available that day and the Structural Reform Group is having its regular call the same day every week, I would say that we make it a short call and look for a day that is more convenient for all (including the United States). Maybe we could step through two organizational topics for a start: - What are the requirements of the proposal? - How do we use the information on the table? I would pass on the results to all of you for addenda. Reto allowed me to pass on the URL of the VarInfo Documentation. VarInfo is a database system set up by him, which includes a lot of ideas and concepts on how to manage comparative data, too. Here it is: http://www.sidos.ch/mmg/vi/html/953.htm You should pay attention to the navigation bar at the top of the site. Is everybody o.k. with this proceeding?

If you can move it back an hour or 2, I'd actually be more awake. However....if its 3 am I can force myself to get up and be available. If you need to set up this call through the conference operator, I don't know how much lead time they need...and if they do calls at what for them is 4 in the morning. However, this definately sounds like a good plan of action. Thank you for getting this moving.

It is not yet finished, in the sense that the arch going from definitions on the one side to the processes on the other is not yet appropriately closed. But it can help to find a way, also towards a common vocabulary. In addition, I would like to complete the reference to the information on comparative and diachronic datasets refering to the VarInfo prototype.

Yesterday's minutes are online. There is just one point I did not really understand and which is posed as a question in the paper: what was meant by the classification scheme mentioned? Achim and Wendy, you said something about this. Maybe you could explain this briefly, so I can change the minutes at this point. To structure the gathering of of information for our two lists I would suggest that I set up a document that is structured along the phases of the survey life cycle. This way we would have a temporal aid for structuring the situations and the elements of possible comparision. Would this be helpful?

These controlled vocabularies could be used on the different levels of comparison. The DDI should be flexible and extensible. Thus we would need external classification schemes to store controlled vocabularies in a structural way. By this means we could machine process these external ressources. For example a reference to an external occupation classification scheme on the variable level (as ISCO-88) in a PDF file is indeed an additional information (possible with DDI 2.0). Furthermore it would be desirable to process this information by programs. For this goal it would be necessary to represent the occupation classification scheme according to a general XML classification scheme (DTD or XML schema). Then it would be possible for example to point into the external XML document to a specific occupation code (to pull out further information). One available XML classification scheme is CLASET.
