Background
At the second workshop in May 2000, we reported on the quality of the All Fields Postcode Directory (AFPD). Our focus was its use in constructing look up tables between pairs of geographies. In summary, we recommended that ESRC pursue improvements to the AFPD, since despite variable completeness and quality, it provides tools of data conversion of great potential to census analysts in the academic sector and beyond.
Dissemination
Since that time, we have discussed our work with other users of the AFPD, and with ONS staff preparing the government’s Neighbourhood Statistics Service, who are seeking similar geographical tools. With the Programme Director, we are negotiating with ONS to make the project’s Internet tools available outside the academic sector.
Progress
During the summer, the project’s Internet site has been developed to provide a tool for data conversion. It is a pilot site as yet, in that the formatting of the site and the files it produces are undergoing a thorough review. Once robust, the intention is to transfer the site to MIMAS, and this is also the subject of active negotiation.
Content of this report
The main part of this report consists of the draft description of the data conversion tools available, with details of the methodology by which they have been constructed. Readers are welcome to use the website in its current form, using these notes as a guide. Comments to improve the clarity of the documentation, or indeed to suggest amendments to the methodology, would be very welcome.
Media
The media this article discusses tape is the most obvious issue. If you get a DLT tape, you will need a DLT drive to read it. You will also need the right model DLT drive; there are 15 different DLT drives and they all write different physical recording formats.
Furthermore, the type of tape does not always indicate the physical recording format, and therefore the drive you need. A DLT IV tape can be used in DLT 4000, DLT 7000, DLT 8000, DLT-1, and VS-80 drives, and they write to tape differently. You simply can't tell by the type of tape what physical format has been recorded on it.
Tape Format
Tape format, also described as the file structure on the tape, is the most misunderstood conversion issue. There are hundreds of programs used to write files to tape, and each one does it differently. In nearly all cases the tape program creates a data structure on the tape -- sort of like a container -- to aid in storing and retrieving the files, then places your files within that structure. In order to retrieve your files you will need to extract them from that structure using the same program, and sometimes even the same version, to read the tape as was used to write the tape. There is more information about tape formats, and examples, in our Intermediate Data Conversion Tutorial.
File Type and File Content
The File Type we are discussing here is the file type on disk, before it is written to tape or after it is restored from tape.
The File Type and File Content are closely related, with overlapping issues and interactions. What "File Type" and "File Content" refer to depends on both the operating system and the kind of file. Furthermore, the issues are different for mainframes and PCs, and for different kinds of files, so it's difficult to make global statements about either. What follows is a simple overview. Our Intermediate Data Conversion Tutorial contains a more complete description.
File type
File type refers to how the file is stored on disk. In the case of mainframe computers, the "how" is handled by the operating system, while on Windows, UNIX, and Macintosh computers it's handled by the application program. So "file type" has very different meanings and implications on mainframes than on PCs.
Regardless of where it is handled, it refers to the kind of file. Under an operating system that uses structured files, such as a mainframe, "file type" describes, for example, an indexed or sequential file, with fixed-length or variable-length records, and likely other file parameters such as the record length or type of indexing. Under operating systems that don't use structured files, such as UNIX or Windows, "file type" commonly refers to the application that created the file, such as "a Microsoft Access file", or to some common file type used by many applications, such as a comma-delimited file. This is discussed in much greater detail in our Intermediate Data Conversion Tutorial.
File content
File content refers to what is stored in the file, and what is stored in the file depends on what the file is text, word processing, database, spreadsheet, binary data, object file, executable, etc.
So File Content encompasses many concepts, and takes on different meanings for different types of files. For database files it may mean character fields versus binary fields, EBCDIC versus ASCII, etc. It may also include issues such as redefined fields or redefined records multiple record types in one file. When used to describe a data conversion, file content generally does not refer to the specific data in individual fields or records in the file, such as John Smith or Jane Doe, but to the method or data type used to store that data. File Content may also be dictated by the application. For example, the content of an Access file is controlled by Access and the layout you specify when you create the file.
