I am adding the bug on missing DataKind and have a question. In DDI 2.0 
there was a different StudyUnit for each logical product (e.g. microdata, 
aggregate, etc from the 1990 Census). Does DataKind refer to the data 
SOURCE or the data PRODUCT?

<!-- 2.2.3.10 Kind of Data.                                            -->
<!-- The type of data included in the file: survey data, 
census/enumeration
       data, aggregate data, clinical data, event/transaction data, program
       source code, machine-readable text, administrative records data,
       experimental data, psychological test, textual data, coded textual,
       coded documents, time budget diaries, observation data/ratings,
       process-produced data, etc.                                      -->

This is a subelement of Summary Description
