Construct
Associated Constructs (Construct) - Terms that represent different concepts that are hypothesized (or known) to relate in useful ways and are therefore often measured together (e.g., “perceived benefits” and “perceived barriers”).
Construct Name (Construct) - The title by which the construct is known.
Definition of Construct (Construct) - Meaning of the construct.
Keywords (Construct) - Words or phrases that will assist with the search for a construct, measure, or dataset.
Similar Constructs (Construct) - Related terms that represent over-lapping concepts. They overlap to such an extent that rarely would both be measured (e.g., “perceived benefits” and “pros of change”).
Synonyms for Construct (Construct) - Other terms sometimes used to represent the same construct (e.g., “perceived susceptibility” and “perceived threat”).
Theoretical Foundation (Construct) - The social, psychological, or behavioral theory underlying the construct.

Data Collection Mode(s) (Datasets) - A specific description of the administration method used to collect the data in the dataset.
Data Dictionary (Datasets) - Link to the data dictionary.
Data model URL (Datasets) - World Wide Web location of the UML model for the dataset. This will typically be stored at gforge.nci.nih.gov.
Data usage agreement and security documents (Datasets) - These documents facilitate appropriate data sharing between and among organizations by addressing legal, regulatory, policy, proprietary, and contractual barriers to data exchange.
Dataset Name (Datasets) - The title of the dataset.
Description (Datasets) - Text description of important information concerning the dataset (e.g., purpose, contents, funding).
Grid-enabled status (Datasets) - Datasets are considered grid-enabled when the documentation and programming related to the data service have addressed the compatibility guidelines established for caBIG so that that dataset will be syntactically and semantically interoperable with other data presented via caBIG data services. These compatibility guidelines include development of a UML (unified modeling language) model that describes the relationships between the common data elements in a domain and curation of the model to ensure that shared vocabularies and standard values and formats have been used to define how data are collected.
Keywords (Datasets) - Words or phrases that will assist with the search for a construct, measure, or dataset.
Number of Observations (Datasets) - Number of analysis units contained in the dataset.
Organizational Home (Datasets) - Institutional owner or holder of the dataset and all associated documentation.
Population (Datasets) - Types of subjects included in the dataset.
Preview CQL Statement (Datasets) - This statement, written in caGrid Query Language (CQL), queries the caBIG data service where the dataset of interest is located and returns a brief preview of the data.
