Data Format

Description

Physical format of the data file: Logical record length format, card-image format (i.e., data with multiple records per case), delimited format, free format, etc. The element may be repeated to support multiple language expressions of the content. PLEASE NOTE A CHANGE IN USAGE INSTRUCTIONS: The string content of the element now contains the language specific label obtained from the controlled vocabulary. This allows for multiple languages through the repeated entry of the "concept" element. See the high level documentation for a complete description of usage.
