The IBM SPSS Data Collection Data Model (formerly the PASW® Data Collection Data Model) covers the research life-cycle from authoring through data collection and reporting.
The IBM SPSS Data Collection Data Model is the hub of IBM SPSS Data Collection technologies, fully supporting the survey life-cycle. Each product in the family is like a spoke that communicates with all of the others and with third-party applications through this hub.
The IBM SPSS Data Collection Developer Library (DDL) is an information-rich resource for learning about and working with IBM SPSS Data Collection products -- for scriptwriters developing automated survey research processes, for software developers wanting to leverage IBM SPSS Data Collection products and technology, and for anyone wanting to understand more about the technology.
The IBM SPSS Data Collection Data Model is compatible with the following products. The version of the supported product should be consistent with the version of the Data Model selected (i.e., Data Model 5.6 supports Author 5.6 while Data Model 6 supports Author 6).
