[DDI-users] DDI Controlled Vocabulary for General Data Format

Hi all,

I am trying to assign a General Data Format code <https://ddialliance.org/Specification/DDI-CV/GeneralDataFormat_2.0.html> to a real estate dataset. It is a tabular dataset with both numeric (e.g. sale amount, mortgage interest rate) and string (mailing address, owner name) variables.

This dataset doesn’t exactly match the definition for numeric data, but I think that this code is the closest match.

Have any of you worked with datasets that aren’t strictly numeric? How did you approach classifying its general data format?

Thanks for your help!

Best,
Kate
