Data Harmonization Terminology in the SDP Vocabulary Service
The SDP-V services service has the capability to designate content to facilitate assist with reuse and harmonization. The SDP-V users identified the need to designate content as "preferred", which is content that has been selected as CDC’s first choice within SDP-V to express a concept. This data harmonization term can be implemented when the curator role for the SDP Vocabulary -V Service is staffed. The goal of using these labels this label is greater data harmonization.
Detailed descriptions The detailed description and the goals goal of "Preferred" is in the table below.
SDP-V Label | Proposed definition | Goal |
Preferred | Surveys, sections, questions, data elements, or response sets that have been formally approved by SMaHSC or another CDC authority as the chosen and vetted characterization of a concept within SDP-V | User can easily find and reuse with reduced review time |
The label “Preferred” is presently available in SDP-V. The governance process presented here addresses the "preferred" label and can easily be used for additional harmonization terms that may be developed in the future in the SDP Vocabulary Service.
