st: New command -odkmeta- on SSC

[Matthew White <mwhite@poverty-action.org>]

Thanks as always to Kit Baum, a new command -odkmeta- is now available
for download from SSC. To install, type -ssc install odkmeta- in
Stata.

-odkmeta- creates a do-file to import ODK data, using the metadata
from the survey and choices worksheets of the XLSForm. The do-file
completes the following tasks in order:

  o Import lists as value labels
  o Add other values to value labels
  o Import field attributes as characteristics
  o Split select_multiple variables
  o Drop note variables
  o Format date, time, and datetime variables
  o Attach value labels
  o Attach field labels as variable labels and notes
  o Merge repeat groups

-odkmeta- requires Stata 11 and the SSC package -specialexp-. To
install -specialexp-, type -ssc install specialexp-.

Best,
Matt
