(This is the description of a proposed database structure discussed starting in 1981 by several members of ISAR and other organizations with L.A. representatives. It was never implemented in software. Instead, ISAR shifted in 1985 to develop the Rodden-ISAR Database.)
The following coding descriptions will also form the basis of the questionnaire. The questionnaire will be the same list with all statements changed to questions for an interviewer to ask.
Any date in the codes can be packed into 2 bytes as follows:
7 bits = 0-127 years counted from year of birth as 0,
4 bits = month,
5 bits = day of month.
Many items are brief scales or lists.
Scales from 0 to 3 can be stored in 2 bits and are used as follows:
0=unknown, 1=low, 2=middle, 3=high.
or 0=unknown, 1=first item listed, 2=second item, 3=third item.
