PDF Osiris dictionary SPSS cards CBLT Book Osiris SPSS (user has to re-create information in order to re-use information) Machine “readable” but not Machine “actionable”

DDI 1 and DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION 2.0 STUDY DESCRIPTION 3.0 DATA FILES DESCRIPTION 4.0 VARIABLE DESCRIPTION 5.0 OTHER STUDY-RELATED MATERIALS Built to emulate early code BOOKS and digital Codebooks…

Problems of early digital codebooks (part 2)  Static, inflexible.  Meant to document the end point of research -- Views research as linear.  Hard to re-use the information for new research.

Problems of DDI 1 and 2  Emulated the Code Book  Not flexible enough  We could do so much more…

Three Stages of Technological Change Type of ChangeCharacterized by ModernizationDoing what we’ve always done, but using technology to do more and to increase efficiency InnovationDoing things we’ve wanted to do, but could not do without the technology TransformationDoing things that we didn’t imagine until technology made it possible.
