Two things on the agenda:
1 - Preparation for publication: the list of new bugs coming out of review
need to be included in this revision if possible. See list below.
2 - URN call follow-up
Preparation for publication:
A number of corrections were identified during Chris's review of the model
and review of the proposed 3.1 structure. We need to go over this list
quickly to see what can be included and what are longer term issues. I've
broken this into 3 types of bugs:
DOCUMENTATION - FIELD LEVEL [these should just be fixed, please review]
267 documentation on Relationship needs to be made generic to
application in Note and OtherMaterial
269 VariableSchemeReference - not generic enough for usage
276 DataFileReference documentation is unclear
279 Label documenation throughout
NON-CONTROVERCIAL CHANGES [trying to get all minor fixes that are
invalidating into 3.1 if possible]
260 add ResearcherID to Individual
261 UniverseReference defined twice not caught in earlier review
262 DDIProfile nees prefix mapping - looks like it should be
straightforward but out of my field to suggest specific change
263 Addition of ElseIf option to simplify and clarify If Then ElseIf
ElseIf...Else nesting patterns
264 Add name, label, description to ControlConstructType [abstract]
(missed this one in the original list)
265 Allow dynamic text in interview instructions
268 Change Name in SeriesStatement to standard format and make
repeatable for language
270 Interative ConceptReference [is it an error if so can we fix now]
271 Format of Boolean attribute
272 Format of Boolean attribute
274 ExternalInformationReference is r:Reference and could reference
non-DDI content
277 CodeRepresentation and CategoryRepresentation allow multiple
references to Code/CategorySchemes within their structure. This is handled
by StructuredMixedResponse in Questions and is not allowed in Varibles
(composit code scheme should be created and used by Variable)
278 SpecificSequence requires AlternateSequenceType even when a valid
sequence type is provide in QuestionSequence...also "QuestionSequence" is
not generic in terms of uses for describing category sequences
HOLD FOR LATER VERSION
266 Temporal, Spatial, and Topical Coverage are all identifiable
although Coverage is not. Can reside in multiple locations, is not
referenced. Is this correct? logical?
273 ResponseUnit is inconsistant, internationalstring in
QuestionConstruct and xs:string in other locations. ResponseUnit is slated
for addtional review in future version for a variety of reasons.
275 CoordinateGroupStructure looks odd, needs review
280 Inability to create an IfThen construct within a MultipleQuestion
