Summary of Features
Study selection methods Variable selection methods Case selection methods Methods of downloading or
retrieving subsets Simple analysis capabilities

Study Selection Methods
simple an extractor for a single study
list of study titles or titles organized by subject headings
a searchable catalogue of titles or variables within studies
![Page 5: C. Humphrey1 DLI Training Workshop Hosted by Dalhousie University March 2000.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082805/55151de95503465e608b51df/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
C. Humphrey 5
Variable Selection Methods
list of variable namesa subject index linked to a list of variables
Either may include the data dictionary entry for individual variables.

C. Humphrey 6
Case Selection Methods
a set of pre-selected demographic variables
declare through Boolean expressions using variables within a study
through a random selection of cases

Methods of Retrieval
use of an ftp site, anonymous or logon
download from a Web page

Simple Analysis Capabilities
frequency distributions or descriptive statistics for individual variables
simple tables of two-way tabulations or descriptive summaries
simple charts or graphs

Delivery Strategies
full client application a helper application or plug-in CGI and database applications a network programming application
![Page 10: C. Humphrey1 DLI Training Workshop Hosted by Dalhousie University March 2000.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082805/55151de95503465e608b51df/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
C. Humphrey 10
Delivery Strategies
full client application independent program written to
communicate with a specific server advantage: the client has complete
communication control with the server disadvantage: the development costs
to program and support a full client
![Page 11: C. Humphrey1 DLI Training Workshop Hosted by Dalhousie University March 2000.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082805/55151de95503465e608b51df/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
C. Humphrey 11
Delivery Strategies
a helper application or plug-in an application operating in conjunction
with a Web browser advantage: the Web browser handles
the network communication disadvantage: the development costs
to program and support the application
![Page 12: C. Humphrey1 DLI Training Workshop Hosted by Dalhousie University March 2000.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082805/55151de95503465e608b51df/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
C. Humphrey 12
Delivery Strategies
CGI and database applications the use of Web forms to drive database
requests advantage: the Web browser handles
the network communication and supports multiple platforms
disadvantage: feeding and caring the database needs standard products
![Page 13: C. Humphrey1 DLI Training Workshop Hosted by Dalhousie University March 2000.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082805/55151de95503465e608b51df/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
C. Humphrey 13
Delivery Strategies
a network programming application network-programs operating with a
Web browser advantage: the same Web advantages
as before plus added functionality disadvantage: same database concerns
as before plus the costs of programming

Best Practices
modularity based on standards easy to migrate portable off-the-shelf
![Page 15: C. Humphrey1 DLI Training Workshop Hosted by Dalhousie University March 2000.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082805/55151de95503465e608b51df/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
C. Humphrey 15
Best Practices
modularity a system of single-tasked utilities
that communicate easily among themselves
![Page 16: C. Humphrey1 DLI Training Workshop Hosted by Dalhousie University March 2000.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082805/55151de95503465e608b51df/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
C. Humphrey 16
Best Practices
based on standards accepted practices for organizing
and building systems the communication among
modules depends on standards
![Page 17: C. Humphrey1 DLI Training Workshop Hosted by Dalhousie University March 2000.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082805/55151de95503465e608b51df/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
C. Humphrey 17
Best Practices
easy to migrate easily adapt with changes in new
technology primarily, the data documentation
and data must outlive current software and hardware
![Page 18: C. Humphrey1 DLI Training Workshop Hosted by Dalhousie University March 2000.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082805/55151de95503465e608b51df/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
C. Humphrey 18
Best Practices
portable easily used with a variety of
systems, including MS/Windows, Unix and MacOS
![Page 19: C. Humphrey1 DLI Training Workshop Hosted by Dalhousie University March 2000.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082805/55151de95503465e608b51df/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Best Practices
off-the-shelf acquire components that are
commercially produced
