Reconciliation with data dictionary provided by the CBS

In this initial exercise, definitions for variables in all the eight tables provided by the CBS (click here to follow link) were compared against the data dictionary provided by the CBS. The purpose of this exercise was to:

1. Identify unknown variables, for which definitions are not exactly clear.
2. Get an understanding of how the variable was captured through the application: single-select vs. multi-select vs. text-entry
3. Identify the format of the variable, which could be one of the following: (i) ID, (ii) Numeric, (iii) Categorical, (iv) Flag.
