About the Data Cookbook (Short Video Overview)

 

Data Cookbook Features

The Data Cookbook includes approval, sharing and collaborating features that make the reporting process more efficient. Each university can create their own Data Cookbook account and maintain information on all of their reports and defined terms. The Data Cookbook guides users to enter all necessary information to be sure complete reporting requirements are captured.

This process is documented to show the evolution of term definitions, which creates a workflow that fosters collaboration between the requester, designer, developer and end user. To ensure that all term definitions meet institution standards, edits are only published with a data steward’s approval.

Once approved, these terms can be accessed and reused by the entire reporting community within an institution. If desired, an institution may flag terms they wish to make visible to the public. These public terms become a valuable resource for all institutions to share and agree on a consistent vocabulary for higher education data analysis.
