[DDI-CDG] Topics for today

[Reto Hadorn]

Hi everybody,


Please find attached a draft proposing a construction of the field of 
comparative and diachronic datasets. 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.

Main page of the information system: http://www.sidos.ch/mmg/vi/html/toc.htm
- Help to this information system: http://www.sidos.ch/mmg/vi/html/479.htm
- General index of the intries: http://www.sidos.ch/mmg/vi/html/Index.htm#964

Page where the presentation of comparative dataset starts: 
http://www.sidos.ch/mmg/vi/html/935.htm
- A presentation with some graphical presentations or the relationships in 
cross-national and diachronic datasets: 
http://www.sidos.ch/mmg/vi/html/Documents/META_WP3_SpaceTime.ppt

The "main objects" in a metadata database, with a first systematic 
presentation of the various types of datassts:
- Single dataset: http://www.sidos.ch/mmg/vi/html/956.htm
- Compound dataset: http://www.sidos.ch/mmg/vi/html/957.htm
- Integrated cross-national dataset: http://www.sidos.ch/mmg/vi/html/963.htm
- Cumulated cross-national dataset: http://www.sidos.ch/mmg/vi/html/964.htm

This is all work in the doing. I expect that the work within the CDG will 
allow to get further!


Best wishes
