Abstract

Nowadays, questionnaires are used by scientists as a way to collect data by specifically targeted social groups in order to collect and process information about specific issues that they are interested in. A way to collect these data is the use of online questionnaires, as they provide a fast and efficient way to monitor social behaviors and conditions by different social groups. For that reason, plenty of online applications exist in order to shape, render and register the answers exist. Different web applications which are concerned with this domain are already being used. These kind of applications require a User Interface (UI) which is used by the questionnaire makers in order to define and render the questionnaires. However, these web applications are not a silver bullet as different problems appear such as vendor lock-in which may cause extra costs for the user or even difficulty from moving from one platform to another. A different solution for questionnaire rendering is the use of a Domain Specific Language. A Domain Specific Language(DSL) is a programming language, which is designed to serve a very specific application domain. The research gap which exists has to do with examining possible differences in usage and understanding among people with different backgrounds on computer science. Furthermore, whether could it be possible to minimize possible drawbacks such as vendor lock-in by designing a platform which could be capable of compiling the questionnaire output
