The first row in the datasets is the header, and contains a code that represents each question. We call this code the 'FIELD NAME' (see below example). Another set of codes is used to represent the set of possible response choices. These response choices correspond to the value of the HTML Form. each row after the header represents one user's responses. Each user id assigned a unique id that is located in the 'who' field. Below is an example from the general.cb file. FIELD NAME: "inet_years" "inet_years" QUESTION: "How long have you been on the Internet (including using email, gopher, ftp, etc.)?" QUESTION TYPE: "radio" CODE & ANSWER: "under6" "Less than 6 months" CODE & ANSWER: "6_to_12" "6 to 12 months" CODE & ANSWER: "1_to_3" "1 to 3 years" CODE & ANSWER: "4_to_6" "4 to 6 years" CODE & ANSWER: "over_7" "7 years or more" DELIMITER: @@@ This indicates that the field name for the question is "inet_years", which was asked via a radio button. The response code "under6" corresponds to the "Less than 6 months" text (which is what the respondents who took the survey saw next to the radio button). If you have any questions about HTML encodings, please view the source code from the 'Questions' pages . Checkbox questions are encoded differently. Each response choice is a separate column in the dataset. The response code is appended to the field name with a '.' in between. A '1' is assigned if the user selected this response, otherwise a '0' is assigned. For example, the below question: "entry" "entry" "How did you find out about the GVU's Fifth WWW User Survey? \nPlease check all that apply."
