Concept help - Data Set Specification
Table of Contents
A data set specification (DSS) is a collection of Data Elements which address the requirements within the scope statement. The selected data elements must be collected according to the specified guidelines, and may require the user to comply with constraints such as sequencing, conditionality, multiple occurrences of the same data element, and multiple responses allowed within a code set.
Data set specifications may also be associated with other item types such as glossary items or indicators.
