A Sample Codebook in DDI4 XML

This presentation will be a first look at a sample codebook serialized in DDI4 XML. The sample codebook is for a subset of variables from the Australian Election Study, 2013 - au.edu.anu.ada.ddi.01259 from the Australian Data Archive (ADA). The subset was first developed at the DDI4 Dagstuhl week 2 Sprint 2016 as an example of physical formatting of data. A complete codebook for the subset was begun at the DDI4 Dagstuhl Week 1 Sprint 2017 as a test case for the simple codebook functional view. It has proved useful in showing what can be represented in the DDI4 model, as well as showing the style of the resulting XML.

The presentation will include a walk-through of the original codebook from the ADA showing how each piece of information is represented in DDI4 XML.
