Agenda MQDS Background MQDS current design Demo

Survey Lifecycle http://ccsg.isr.umich.edu/

What is MQDS? The Michigan Questionnaire Documentation System (MQDS) was designed to extract comprehensive metadata from Blaise survey instruments and render it as an eXtended Markup Language (XML) document using the Data Documentation Initiative (DDI) standard.

MQDS Development Timeline Version 1 2004 BlaiseDoc Version 2 2007 .Net Programming Version 3 2009 Database driving and DDI 3.0 compatible Version 4 2011 Able to handle large data model and DDI 3.1 compatible Version 5 2014? Able to work with Blaise 5 new structures and DDI 3.X compatible

MQDS V4: Import-Export-Transform (IET) Process Model SQL Server / SQL Server Express 3. Transform 1. Import 2. Export Relational DB XML (DDI 3) User specifies output files (location, Language/locale, XML output options, etc.) Blaise Datamodel (BMI) User specifies input files (location, file type, etc.) Blaise Database (BDB) Questionnaire Other File Types (e.g. SAS, SPSS, etc) Codebook Database connection settings User specifies stylesheet selection criteria, type of output desired (html, rtf, pdf), etc. DDI 3 elements not in *.bmi

MQDS Main Menu

Export SQL Server / SQL Server Express Blaise Datamodel (BMI) Blaise Database (BDB) Other File Types (e.g. SAS, SPSS, etc) Database connection settings DDI 3 elements not in *.bmi via Profiles Match Blaise Language Settings to ISO Language/locale User specifies Instrument Data & Metadata

User specifies DDI V3 Instance: 2. Export Relational Db SQL Server / SQL Server Express 3. Transform 1. Import 2. Export User specifies DDI V3 Instance: output location, Fill names or resolved, formatted or unformatted, languages, etc. XML (DDI 3.1)
