Data Sources

Rough sketch of the layout for data source descriptions. This page will probably be broken into sub-pages once the content starts going in.

A large project like INTERACT gathers data from a variety of disparate sources. In this section we itemize those sources, describing the data gathered and the partners involved.

Table of Contents Interact IDs Participant Metadata Telemetry Data SenseDoc Ethica Surveys TrekSoft Ethica

Interact IDs

1. Intention is to anonymize all detailed data
2. Breakdown the syntax of an ID
3. History of assignment protocol

Participant Metadata

Information about each participant was gathered from a number of different sources.

1. INTERACT registration and notes gathered by coordinators
2. Treksoft registration
3. Ethica registration

Telemetry Data

Participants were given the choice of two different technologies to use for the collection of their physical activity data.

SenseDoc

Describe the SenseDoc device and expected usage behaviors.

Describe the duty cycle, duration, and fields captured.

1. Large volumes of continuous data
2. Describe tables captured
3. Harvested manually by non-technical coordinators

Ethica

Describe the Ethica app and expected usage behaviors

Describe the duty cycle, duration, and fields captured.

1. Large volumes of semi-continuous data
2. Describe duty cycles
3. Harvested automatically
4. Variety of OSs, manufacturers, and software versions

Surveys

TrekSoft

Describe the surveys conducted, the data gathered, and the frequency of collection

1. low-volume survey data
2. Includes geographic information
3. Will need input from Benoit on this section

Ethica

Describe the surveys conducted, the data gathered, and the frequency of collection

1. low-volume survey data
2. Inconsistent data structures between cities
3. Changing data structures as Ethica evolved
