Here https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.167223 you find some slides where I 
discuss some possible methods to identify the same/similar stuff in 
different waves of a panel. You will have to check whether these 
features are available in codebook, but knowing the "right" search terms 
should help you a little.

Best regards
