[DDI-CDG] Electronic Questionnaire Markup Language (EQML)

[pheus at worldbank.org]

Dear all:
I was recently doing some research on the web for PDA based questionnaire/data
entry applications and found the attached paper presented by the Centro
Centroamericano de Poblacion, Universidad de Costa Rica at a recent conference.
The document reviews existing commercial solutions and, not having found one
that answered their requirements, describes the custom software package they
have implemented. In such process, they have created, after an extensive review
of surveys, an XML specification called "Electronic Questionnaire Markup
Language" to capture question information, flow and validation/control. This
seems like a very interesting thing for us too  look at in the context of DDI
3.x. The schema or the application do not seem to be available on-line at this
time, I will contact the authors for further information and will keep you
posted. For the curious, the web site (en espanol) is accessible at:
