This is a published standard for the transfer of Market Research data and metadata from one program to another. This version uses triple-s XML version 2.0. For full details see http://www.triple-s.org.
If some data has already been collected with another MR program, for example a web interviewing package, then that program should be able to produce a triple-s file. Actually a triple-s export is two files, an XML file containing the metadata and an ASC file containing the data.
A triple-s file can be imported by loading the XML file into an empty project using the Main window [File] menu.
Once loaded the project is ready to use, for example a Data summary report can be produced.
The triple-s data file does not normally need to be altered in any way. It is a fixed format ASCII (ASC) file and can be used directly as a raw data file.
If there is no usable serial number in the data then you will need to add a unique serial number to the raw data file, see Change serial numbers in the Raw data view window.
This is the project information and will be loaded as entries when the triple-s file is loaded.
