Appendix A - Summary of Identity-Related Data Elements
This appendix summarises this Standard by tabulating the definition, data type, and an extract from the validated exchange file for each of the five identity-related data elements.
Table 3 - Summary mapping of identity-related data elements and CIQ v3.0
Data element: Name
Definition:
The full name, separated into logical atomic components: First Name,
Middle Name/s and Last Name.
Data type: Text or Character
Extract from validated exchange file:
<n:NameElement
n:ElementType="LastName"></n:NameElement>
<n:NameElement
n:ElementType="FirstName"></n:NameElement>
<n:NameElement
n:ElementType="MiddleName"></n:NameElement>
<n:NameElement
n:ElementType="MiddleName"></n:NameElement>
Data element: Gender
Definition:
The current sex of the person. Current sex aligns with the Department
of Internal Affairs identity processes.
While not strictly accurate, the use of the term 'Gender' to describe current sex in face-to-face self-reported context is regarded as more socially and culturally acceptable by some sector agencies. Therefore a sex value is used to populate CIQ v3.0 Gender element.
The sex code will be chosen from a code list: F, M, or U (see Appendix B).
Data type: Text or Character
Extract from validated exchange file:
<p:PersonInfo p:Gender="M" />
Data element: Mother's Name
Definition:
The full name of the person's mother at the time of the mother's birth
is a string.
This structure is used to reflect the possibility that the person reporting their mother's name at the time of the mother's birth may not be able to separate it into logical atomic components.
Data type: Text or Character
Extract from validated exchange file:
<p:BirthInfoElement
p:Type="MothersName"></p:BirthInfoElement>
Data element: Date of Birth
Definition:
The date of birth for the person, separated into logical atomic
components: Birth Year, Birth Month, Birth Day, and Birth Time.
The Birth Time structure is less rigid than the BirthDateTime structure in CIQ v3.0 to accommodate the likely variety of recording devices available 'in situ'.
Data type: Numeric
Extract from validated exchange file:
<p:BirthInfoElement
p:Type="BirthYear"></p:BirthInfoElement>
<p:BirthInfoElement
p:Type="BirthMonth"></p:BirthInfoElement>
<p:BirthInfoElement
p:Type="BirthDay"></p:BirthInfoElement>
<p:BirthInfoElement
p:Type="BirthTime"></p:BirthInfoElement>
Data element: Place of Birth
Definition:
The name of the Locality and Country where the person was born.
Locality is a string and the Country code will be chosen from a code
list (see Appendix C).
The Locality structure allows the optional use of enumeration or controlled value lists and implementation-related application logic.
Data type: Text or Character
Extract from validated exchange file:
<a:Country>
<a:NameElement ct:Abbreviation="true"
a:NameType="Name"></a:NameElement>
</a:Country>
<a:Locality>
<a:NameElement
a:NameType="Type"></a:NameElement>
<a:NameElement
a:NameType="Name"></a:NameElement>
</a:Locality>
