<p class="MsoNormal">I am struggling to decide where to put this hybrid content.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I is looking at where to put some of the statistical metadata for our next Census of Population and Dwellings.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have a “warrant of fitness” which shows a number of quality characteristics of “variables”.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I say “variables” because they are not instance variables or necessarily represented variables.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This includes quality information, population, classifications, source data and more.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Census staff, and our users, want this information in one place rather than in many different DDI objects.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">DDI objects like source and population also seem to be more at the study level rather than the variable level.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Last time, because of time constraints, we added them as a variable set. This time, we have time for a more planned solution.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here are some examples. Ignore the reference to variable in the title:<o:p></o:p></p>
