Applicable Classes

Name Description Modifies Slot
Governed A mixin that provides slots for audit trail and standards governance, including mandatory status, comments, and attribution 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
Dataflow An abstract representation that defines data provision for different reference periods, where a Distribution and its Dataset are instances 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
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
SiteOrSponsorComment A feedback element that contains comments from a site or sponsor, distinct from the general Comment class no
DataStructureDefinition A structural element that defines the organization of a data cube for analysis, including dimensions, attributes, and measures no
WhereClause A conditional element that describes the circumstances under which a containing context applies, linking conditions to structures where they are used no
Measure A data cube property that describes a measurable quantity or value no
CubeComponent An abstract data field that represents a component in a data structure definition, referencing an Item for its definition no
Comment A descriptive element that contains explanatory text provided by a data or metadata handler no
CodeList A value set that defines a discrete collection of permissible values for an item, corresponding to the ODM CodeList construct 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

DataProduct A governed collection that represents a purpose-driven assembly of datasets and services with an owning team and lifecycle no
GovernedElement 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
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
NominalOccurrence An event element that represents occurrences such as planned or unplanned encounters or adverse events no
