Non-breaking change in the V3.0 schema definition

  • Changed the type definition of BDS field 71 (parental birth country) from integer to number

Added support in V3.0 schema definition

  • Adds support in read_bds() and write_bds() for
    • parental country of birth (BDS 71, uses government Table 34 for codes)
    • parental level of eduction (BDS 62/66)
    • parity (BDS 471)

  • Major overhaul of bdsreader package

Major changes

  • Reorganises calculations in function read_bds() into 13 steps
  • The new argument validate to read_bds() can bypass the jsonvalidate::json_validate() to speed up data reading. The default is FALSE. Use validate = TRUE to obtain diagnostic information.
  • Function read_bds() now writes intermediate JSON file to the working directory by setting intermediate = TRUE.
  • Much faster reading of DDI BDS fields by smarter data mungling

Bug fixes

  • Repairs errors in selected bds fields in V2.0 and V3.0 schemas:
    • 66 (added code “09”)
    • 911 –> 912
    • 944 –> 945
    • 960 –> 961
    • 965 –> 966
    • 942 –> 943
    • 944 –> 945
    • 973 (added)
    • 1001 (added)
  • Makes parse_valid() robust against BDS sequence
  • Changes default format in write_bds() to JSON schema V3.0
  • Updates dependency versions

Major changes

  • Defines BDS JSON schema V3.0 for exchanging child-level data between electronic systems. V3.0 uses an English data definition and redefines the nesting structure to a more logical structure. The new schema mostly follows alterations developed by Eaglescience BV for the SRM made in the period 2022-2023.
  • From now on, the advice is to adopt V3.0 for data exchange. Versions V1.0, V1.1 and V2.0 will be retired in the future.
  • Adds support for version V3.0 to functions read_bds() and write_bds()
  • Changes the key for calculating the D-score to dscore(..., key = "gsed2212")
  • Tests new functionality on 74 test files stored in package jamesdemodata

Minor changes

  • Removes deprecated tidyselect .data$var syntax

  • Adds script to simulate user bugs and requests
  • Adds example data maria and examples/maria.json
  • Repairs an error with the coding of “smoking during pregnancy”
  • Update documentation
  • Removes class attribute target, so now the target data is just a list with elements named "psn" and "xyz".
  • Breaking change: Replace return value of read_bds() from “tibble with attribute” to an object of class target. This will provide a complete export of the data when converted into JSON format.
  • Do not use dot parameters anymore for jsonlite::FROMjson(), which errors on alien argument names
  • Make the Format field a required element in schema bds_2.0.json
  • Solves a bug that prevented read_bds(txt) to read data from a URL

  • Updates README

This is a major update that introduces schema versioning for JAMES. Schema versioning allows input data to be formatted according to one of multiple JSON-schemas.

  • Introduces schema versioning;
  • Adds multi-version support to read_bds(), write_bds() and related functions;
  • Makes format the most prominent user-facing argument. Alternatively, the user can also specify the schema file directly using the schema argument;
  • Shortens names of schema files to bds_v{x.y}.json;
  • Renamee existing schemas as follows:
    • bds_schema_str.json –> bds_v1.0.json (format = 1)
    • bds_schema.json –> bds_v1.1.json
    • bds_schema_V2.jsonbds_v2.0.json (format = 2)
  • For clarity, renames the path from inst/json to inst/schemas;
  • Updates the $id field in the schema’s to their permanent locations.

The default is format = 2L, which is incompatible with early users who code their data with bds_schema_str.json. To read/write with the older format, call read_bds(..., format = 1L) or write_bds(..., format = 1L). The schema argument is primarily meant for development and testing.
