Disabilities -> missing PersonalID #176

Closed volkovai closed 3 years ago

volkovai commented 3 years ago

Hi @eric-jahn ,

In CSV specification, there is said "The unique identifier for Client.csv is 5.08 Personal Identifier (PersonalID), which is used to associate data in other CSV files with a specific person."

In Disabilities part of XML schema, there is no PersonalID field.

Could you please confirm/correct this is an issue or not?

Thank you, Irina

No this is not an issue, since the CSV has unnecessary additional foreign keys for ID matching convenience across files, but the XML being a single file, more closely adheres to the Logical Model which has the Disabilities dependent only upon the Enrollment. dise
