Data Types

  • binary
  • boolean
  • country: ISO 3166-1 two letter country code
  • date: YYYY-MM-DD format (ISO 8601)
  • dateTerm: A datestamp used to indicate intervals such as a semester, trimester, or quarter. The general format is YYYY-L#, where L is one of H (half year), T (third), or Q (quarter), and # is the sequential number. eg: 2015-H2 designates the second semester of the 2015 academic year (and so might physically be in the year 2016).
  • dateTime: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ

Attribute Release Policies are encoded in metadata, as described below. The following policies are defined:

  • public: The attribute and value may be used without restriction.
  • internal: The attribute and value are to be used for official institutional purposes only, and may not be redistributed without permission.
  • private: The attribute and value may not be used for any purpose without permission.
