SamplingPlan
An inline description of a sampling plan (how the sample is drawn). A sampling plan is intended to be versioned over time and can be reused by multiple studies.

|---|---|---|---|
TypeOfSamplingPlan |
0..1 |
A controlled vocabulary covering probability and non-probability sampling methods and modeling approaches. If this is a multi-stage sample the plan at this level should indicate the broadest description of the sampling approaches used in each stage. |
|
SamplingPlanName |
0..n |
A name for a sampling plan which may be repeated to express differing names for different systems. May be expressed in multiple languages. Repeat the element to express names with different content, for example different names for different systems. |
|
Label |
0..n |
A full display label for the sampling plan, repeatable for different context or applications. Supports multiple language versions of the same content as well as optional formatting of the content. Repeat for labels with different content, for example, labels with differing length limitations. |
|
Description |
0..1 |
Full description of the sampling plan. Supports multiple language versions of the same content as well as optional formatting of the content. |
|
IntendedTargetPopulation |
0..1 |
A description of the population that the survey is intended to question (i.e. “Likely voters”). |
|
IntendedSurveyPopulation |
0..1 |
The survey population is the set of elements identified by the frame. For instance, pre-election polls have “likely voters” as a target population, but the survey is conducted using RDD (usually). The survey population is households with active land-line telephones, because that’s who we can initially identify. Survey questions help narrow the respondents into the desired set, but then eliminating sampled units increases variance. It is reusable in the sense that the same survey population will be used each time the named frame is used. |
|
SplitRationale |
0..1 |
Rationale for dividing the frame at this stage into subsets and using a different sampling technique (e.g., Simple Random Sampling or Probability Proportional to Size) on each subset. |
|
ControlConstructReference |
0..1 |
Generally reference to a single SamplingStage or to a Sequence which orders multiple SamplingStages. TypeOfObject should be any valid member of the group of Control Constructs. |
|
StratificationRationale |
0..1 |
Describe the purpose for stratifying the sampling process. |

UserID |
0..n |
Allows for the specification of identifiers other than the specified DDI identification of the object. This may be a legacy ID from DDI-C, a system specific ID such as for a database or registry, or a non-DDI unique identifier. As the identifier is specific to a system the system must be identified with the UserID structure. |
|
UserAttributePair |
0..n |
A system specific user defined property of the object expressed as a key/value pair. As this is specific to an individual system the use of controlled vocabularies for the key is strongly recommended. |
|
VersionResponsibility |
0..1 |
Person or organization within the MaintenanceAgency responsible for the version change. If it is important to retain the affiliation between and individual responsible for the version and his/her agency, it may be included in this notation. This is primarily intended for internal use. |
|
VersionResponsibilityReference |
0..1 |
Reference person or organization within the MaintenanceAgency responsible for the version change, as described in an OrganizationScheme. If it is important to retain the affiliation between and individual responsible for the version and his/her agency, a Relation should be created between the individual referenced here and his/her organization. This is primarily intended for internal use. |
|
VersionRationale |
0..1 |
Textual description of the rationale/purpose for the version change and a coded value to provide an internal processing flag within and organization or system. Note that versioning can only take place on objects owned by the specified DDI Agency. If you are creating a local instance of an object from another agency for current or future modification use BasedOnObject. If the changes being made result in what you determine to be new object rather than a version of a previous object, i.e. the change is too extensive to consider it a version of the existing object, create a new object and use BasedOnObject to provide a link to the object or objects that were a basis for the new object. |
|
BasedOnObject |
0..1 |
Use when creating an object that is based on an existing object or objects that are managed by a different agency or when the new object is NOT simply a version change but you wish to maintain a reference to the object that served as a basis for the new object. BasedOnObject may contain references to any number of objects which serve as a basis for this object, a BasedOnRationalDescription of how the content of the referenced object was incorporated or altered, and a BasedOnRationalCode to allow for specific typing of the BasedOnReference according to an external controlled vocabulary. |
|
RelatedOtherMaterialReference |
0..n |
The inclusion of an existing OtherMaterial by reference. Use for any type of OtherMaterial not specifically addressed by an inline description for such as ExternalAid in QuestionItem. |
|
VersionDate |
0..1 |
Date of version using the union set BaseDateType. Duration should not be used in this field, even though allowed by the ISO format enforced by the parser. |
|
IsPublished |
0..1 |
Indicates that the maintainable will not be changed without versioning, and is a stable target for referencing. |
