GeographicLocationCodeDomainType

A response domain capturing the name or code of a Geographic Location as a response for a question item. Includes standard response domain elements; OutParameter, designation of response cardinality, and a declaration of an offset date for the data content, as well as a description of a geographic location code represeanttion. Allows for capturing a limited segment of a complex geographic code.

OutParameter

ParameterType

0..1

Allows for the response to be bound to one of the QuestionItem’s OutParameters, so the collected information can be used elsewhere, for example as inputs to subsequent questions in an Instrument or to a GenerationInstruction. If multiple responses are possible, this would represent and ordered array of the responses.

ResponseCardinality

ResponseCardinalityType

0..1

Allows the designation of the minimum and maximum number of responses allowed for this response domain.

ContentDateOffset

ContentDateOffsetType

0..1

Identifies the difference between the date applied to the data as a whole and this specific item such as previous year’s income or residence 5 years ago.

DisplayCode

boolean

0..1

If set to “true” (default value) the code value associated with the category label will be displayed. Set to “false” if only the category label should not be displayed.

RecommendedDataType

CodeValueType

0..1

This field provides the recommended treatment of the data within an application. The value should come from a controlled vocabulary - recommended values include the set found in W3C XML Schema Part 2, but excluding string sub-types, QNAME, and NOTATION. The DDI Alliance has provided a controlled vocabulary (DataType) to support this element at http://www.ddialliance.org/controlled-vocabularies.

GenericOutputFormat

CodeValueType

0..1

This field provides a recommended generic treatment of the data for display by an application. The value should come from a controlled vocabulary.

MeasurementUnit

CodeValueType

0..1

Records the measurement unit, for example, ‘km’, ‘miles’, etc. Supports the use of a controlled vocabulary.

MissingValue

string

0..1

List the values used to represent missing data. Use of MissingValuesReference is preferred. If this content does not match the values provided in the MissingValuesReference, the content of the MissingValuesReference overrides the content of this attribute.

BlankIsMissingValue

boolean

0..1

When value is true a blank or empty variable content should be treated as a missing value. Use of MissingValuesReference is preferred.

ClassificationLevelCode

CodeValueType

0..1

Indicates the type of relationship, nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio, or continuous. Use where appropriate for the representation type. Valid values include: Nominal, Ordinal, Interval, Ratio, Continuous
