[DDI-users] DDI 3.2 QuestionMatrixType

[Jasper Dunker]

Hi Wendy,

 

thank you for the quick response.

The QuestionMatrixType is mentioned in the changelist (http://www.ddialliance.org/sites/default/files/CHANGELIST_3_2.xlsx table COMPLEX TYPE CHANGES  cell D106).

Hi Jasper,

 

This is a typo as there is no such thing as a QuestionMatrix...just a QuestionGrid. Can you let me know the location of this so I can correct it prior to publication? Thanks!

 

TC will be meeting on Thursday and looking at what needs to get done to publish 3.2. Parts I and II will only be in draft form and then updated with a sub-minor revision. Otherwise, given their size and coverage we would be holding up publication of 3.2 just for these documents. We realize they are important to users, but TC has only so much band width for working on these. We are revising how these are created so that we hopefully ease some of the burden of creating these two documents in the future.

Hi, I’m a bit confused about the upcoming changes to the data collection schema. The change document for 3.2 states that the MultipleQuestionItemType is going to be replaced by a new type called QuestionMatrixType and QuestionBlockType. It also announces the introduction of a QuestionGrid type. When searching the 3.2 schema draft I can find QuestionGrid but not QuestionMatrix. 

Does that mean that QuestionMatrix is postponed until a later version of DDI or was it cut because QuestionGrid can be used instead?

 

And is there any ETA for updated 3.2 docs (Part I & II)?

 

 

Best Regards

 

Jasper
