Applicable Classes

Name Description Modifies Slot
Comment A descriptive element that contains explanatory text provided by a data or metadata handler no
Timing A temporal element that describes the timing of an event or occurrence, which can be absolute, relative, or nominal no
Analysis Analysis extends Method to capture analysis-specific metadata including the reason for analysis, its purpose, and data traceability for the results used.
Expressions and parameters from Method can be generic or implementation-specific.		 no
Dimension A data cube property that describes a categorical or hierarchical dimension no
Condition A reusable, composable, and nestable logical construct allowing for complex expressions. Conditions are most useful when given a meaningful name and linked to Study Definitions. no
Standard A collection element that groups related standards within a specific context, used for defining CDISC implementation guides and controlled terminologies no
SiteOrSponsorComment A feedback element that contains comments from a site or sponsor, distinct from the general Comment class no
DataAttribute A data cube property that describes additional characteristics or metadata about observations no
ProvisionAgreement An agreement element that describes the contractual relationship between a Data Provider and a Data Consumer regarding data provision no
Relationship A semantic link that defines connections between elements such as Items or ItemGroups, capturing relationships like "is the unit for" or "assesses seriousness of" no
WhereClause A conditional element that describes the circumstances under which a containing context applies, linking conditions to structures where they are used no
Labelled A mixin that provides slots for detailing meanings and multilingual descriptions no
FormalExpression A computational element that defines the execution of a data derivation within a specific context no
GovernedElement no
Display A rendered output of an analysis result. no
CubeComponent An abstract data field that represents a component in a data structure definition, referencing an Item for its definition no
DocumentReference A comprehensive reference element that points to an external document, combining elements from ODM and FHIR no
Measure A data cube property that describes a measurable quantity or value no
Resource An external reference that serves as the source for a Dataset, ItemGroup, or Item no
IdentifiableElement no
ConceptProperty A reified property concept that exists within the context of its containing topic concept no
Parameter A variable element that describes an input used in a formal expression no
NominalOccurrence An event element that represents occurrences such as planned or unplanned encounters or adverse events no
Dictionary A dictionary that defines a set of codes and their meanings no
DataStructureDefinition A structural element that defines the organization of a data cube for analysis, including dimensions, attributes, and measures no
Dataset A collection element that groups observations sharing the same dimensionality, expressed as a set of unique dimensions within a Data Product context no
ComponentList An abstract definition that specifies a list of components within a data structure definition, including various descriptor types no
DataProduct A governed collection that represents a purpose-driven assembly of datasets and services with an owning team and lifecycle. The DataProduct defines the boundary of accountability between data producers and consumers. no
DataService A service element that provides an API or endpoint for serving or receiving data no
Organization An entity that represents organizational information, such as a site or sponsor no
ReifiedConcept A canonical information layer that makes abstract concepts explicit and referenceable, showing how different data implementations represent the same underlying meanings through a star schema structure with multiple properties no
Method A reusable computational procedure that describes how to derive values and can be referenced by Items.
Analysis and Derivation concepts can be implemented by a Method. Properties can be referenced by Parameters in its expressions.		 no
CodeList A value set that defines a discrete collection of permissible values for an item, corresponding to the ODM CodeList construct no
User An entity that represents information about a specific user of a clinical data collection or data management system no
ItemGroup A collection element that groups related items or subgroups within a specific context, used for tables, FHIR resource profiles, biomedical concept specializations, or form sections no
Dataflow An abstract representation that defines data provision for different reference periods, where a Distribution and its Dataset are instances no
MetaDataVersion A container element that represents a given version of a specification, linking to a particular usage context such as a study, dataset, or data collection instrument. no
Item A data element that represents a specific piece of information within a defined context, with data type, constraints, and derivation methods no
CodeListItem A structured member of a CodeList that extends the Coding class with additional context-specific properties no
DataProvider An organization element that provides data to a Data Consumer, which can be a sponsor, site, or any other entity that supplies data no
ReturnValue An output specification that defines the details of what a formal expression returns no
