Describe version_pseo.txt #142

Closed srt1 closed 5 years ago

Section 8.1

The PSEO will also include a version_pseo.txt file. Similar to QWI, there will be one per state, with several records describing the different tables (PSEOE, PSEOF). The most significant difference from the QWI/J2J specification is that the start/end values will not have quarters. They will be the first and last cohort_year (start of the cohort). My suggestions:

The PSEO metadata will contain separate lines for the PSEOE and PSEOF tables. The year range for PSEO tables is based on the grad_cohort _[ @jodyhoonstarr - please link to gradcohort in 6.16], the start year of the graduation cohort. An example for Colorado institutions has the following content:
