Introduction

Data Standards Browser (Browser) is a user interface for the CDISC Library. CDISC Library account holders can log into the Browser with their existing credentials. Upon logging in, users will be greeted by a landing page that allows access to available CDISC standards. The Browser content is represented visually by the same underlying linked metadata available through API.

With the Browser, CDISC Library users can:

  • Select which standard to review in more detail by searching or traversing through its hierarchy;
  • Provides clear relationship delineations across and within standards;
  • Apply filters at the result level to further refine focus of search;
  • Export content at the product level into supported file formats.

    Limitations

    • For Controlled Terminology, users can request exports at package level. These exports will contain all codelists of a package. CDISC is working toward enabling similar export for individual codelists. The Exports button for codelists is currently only a placeholder for future enhancement.
    • Value lists, such as those in ADaMIG and SDTMIG, are currently not displayed. This is only a display limitation. Value lists are available in exports, as well as through API endpoints. An example of value list is the valueList object in the response from this API query: /mdr/sdtmig/3-2/datasets/RELREC/variables/RELTYPE:
    Code Block
    linenumberstrue
    {
      "ordinal": "6",
      "name": "RELTYPE",
      ...
      "valueList": [
        "MANY",
        "ONE"
      ],
      ...
    }
