[DDI-users] Indicate type of file in DDI Codebook

[Wendy Thomas]

Julie
The appropriate location for this information is:
codeBook/stdyDscr/dataAccs/setAvail/avlStatus
Statement of collection availability. An archive may need to indicate that
a collection is unavailable because it is embargoed for a period of time,
because it has been superseded, because a new edition is imminent, etc. It
is anticipated that a controlled vocabulary will be developed for this
element.

Because this is a simple text field you can provide the level of detail you
wish. This field and its parent fields are repeatable if your study
involves multiple files with different levels of access or description.

If you need a more controlled vocabulary you can also add this information
under codeBook/stdyDscr/studyInfo/subject/keyword which supports the use of
an externally defined controlled vocabulary.
