Panel - Generic Longitudinal Business Process Model

Abstract

This presentation described a model for the processes involved in a longitudinal study. The model was developed at a symposium-style workshop held at Dagstuhl in September of 2011 (http://www.dagstuhl.de/11382). The Generic Longitudinal Business Process Model (GLBPM) emulates the Generic Statistical Business Process Model (GSBPM) (http://www1.unece.org/stat/platform/download/attachments/8683538/GSBPM+Final.pdf?version=1) which, in turn, was developed with DDI Lifecycle in mind. The GLBPM is intended as a generic model that can serve as the basis for informing discussions across organizations conducting longitudinal data collections, and other data collections repeated across time. The model is not intended to drive implementation directly, but may prove useful for those planning a study. An introductory presentation on the model will be followed by a panel discussion.
