Individual respondents, answers, observations, datasets and analysis results remain external where authoritative.

In scope

  • Instrument identity, versions, purpose, population, components, questions, instructions, response domains, logic, language, presentation, modes and accessibility
  • Testing, quality, approvals, privacy, administration and output bindings, lifecycle, correction, records and interoperability projections

Out of scope

  • Owning Study, Program, Campaign, Wave, Administration, Interview, Respondent, Consent, Sample, Response, Observation, Dataset, Analysis, Audit or Records masters
  • Treating a permitted response as evidence that a question was asked, understood, answered, truthful, complete or comparable
  • Autonomous respondent contact, instrument publication, ethics or consent approval, sampling changes, answer collection, protected-trait inference, identity linkage, access widening, dataset creation, result certification or physical records disposition

Why it exists Filled

Represent one governed questionnaire or survey instrument so agents can understand exactly what may be asked, in which form, order, language, mode and context, without confusing an instrument definition with a study, administration or person's response.

Distinguishing features Filled

  • Defines what may be asked and how, not the responses or the people who answered.
  • Keeps wording, language, mode, order and routing explicit because each can change meaning.
  • Differs from a study or campaign, which uses the instrument in a sample and time.
  • Differs from a form in software, which may collect data without a measurement purpose.

What robots and AI may and may not do Filled

Must not

  • Contact respondents or collect answers.
  • Publish or field an instrument without approval.
  • Approve ethics or consent wording.
  • Change wording in a released version.
  • Add questions on sensitive topics without review.

Only with a human decision

  • Approving an instrument for fielding.
  • Approving consent text and sensitive questions.
  • Accepting translations.

May

  • Compose and version questions, modules and routing.
  • Check routing logic and validation rules for errors.
  • Prepare translations and accessible variants as drafts.
  • Map questions to concepts and variables.

Moral aspects Filled

  • Questions can intrude on privacy and cause distress, especially on health, sexuality or trauma.
  • Leading or biased wording distorts results used for policy.
  • Accessibility and language choices decide who can take part.

Who is affected

  • Respondents
  • Groups described by the results
  • Researchers and agencies using the data

neighbor

  • WM-REC-007 parent signal - The unfrozen parent signal may identify a record or collection context, but no approved relation row exists and it grants no ownership, mutation or cascade authority.
  • Study, program, campaign, wave and administration - These objects define research intent and actual collection activity. The instrument owns reusable questions and logic and stores only non-owning use bindings.
  • Respondent, consent, sample, response, observation, dataset and analysis result - These masters carry people, authority, selection, actual answers, observed facts and outputs. The instrument defines permitted capture structures only.
  • Question, response domain, variable and controlled concept - Question content, permitted value domain, statistical variable and controlled concept remain separately identifiable and versioned even when bundled into one instrument.
  • DDI, GSIM, GSBPM, ISO 20252, FHIR, Census, Statistics Canada, GOV.UK, WCAG, DPV, PROV, SKOS and IETF profiles - Each source has a distinct scope and normative force. Every mapping is version-pinned, profile-qualified and loss-declaring.
