MCHP also maintains a public documentation library which contains data descriptions and a concept dictionary. The purpose of the library is to provide current information about the data files within the Manitoba Population Research Data Repository, and methods for using the data in population-based research. Data descriptions provide information about the data file, relationships between data sets, data quality reports, and data dictionary with descriptive and statistical details about all data elements. The concept dictionary outlines methods developed at MCHP for analyzing data in the repository, including project-specific approaches, suggested readings and references.
