The summary reduces the answer change events for a question into a formatted string of the following format:

, where order
is the event order number in the paradata,
(+/-)
indicates an addition/change ((+)
) or a deletion ((-)
),
and value

The summary will consist of several such event blocks separated by a semi-colon (i.e., ;
