[DDI-users] Documenting the interview transcribing process - DDI 3.2

[Noemi Betancort]

Dear DDI users!

I have a question about the documentation of the process of interview 
transcribing: I want to document which transcription methodology was 
used for the described data, maybe the person who made the transcription 
and eventually the tool or software used.

I would like to include it in the data collection module ("a 
maintainable module containing information on activities related to data 
collection/capture and the *processing required for the creation a data 
product*") as it is normally a processing event.

However in the element ProcessingEvent I can't find a suitable element 
for that. I might expect a more generic child-element like 
TypeOfProcessingEvent, which allows you to document other processing 
events in addition to those (cleaning operation, control operation...) 
already offered.

At 
http://www.ddialliance.org/Specification/DDI-CV/LifecycleEventType_1.0.html 
we find the value DataProcessing.InterviewTranscriptions, so that this 
kind of process is rather included in the archive module (as 
transcribing may also ocurr at another point of time and not within data 
collection/processing)

I wonder, how do you manage that? is the process of transcribing 
actually relevant in your metadata?

Kind regards,

Noemi
