Need more info on a CODAP example file

[Andee Rubin]

I would like to know the year of the data in the UN HDI file which is one of the CODAP Example Documents.  I want to use it in a lesson for teachers in which I talk about how important metadata is – but I don’t know the metadata for this document (and it’s not in the text boxes in the document).

Hi Andee,

How ironic that we didn’t include this information with the document! I did a little research by going to this site and comparing life expectancies of countries there with the ones reported in the CODAP dataset. Though I didn’t get an exact match, it’s pretty clear that the data was drawn from either 2012 or 2013.

Yes, very ironic!  Thank you for checking on that for me!
