| 1 | Representing all collected, assigned, and relevant derived data in applicable datasets. | All data generated per scientific and regulatory requirements are included in tabulation datasets. |
| 2 | Using domain specifications in this guide wherever applicable. | A dataset is created using a domain specification in this guide when the scientific nature or role of the data is within the scope of a domain. Domains are extended or custom domain specifications are only used when data are different in nature and are not in scope for domains in this guide. |
| 3 | Following conventions for dataset naming. | The dataset name is standardized per naming conventions and per controlled terminology where applicable. |
| 4 | Following guidance for dataset record structure. | Dataset content is aligned with the record structure specified per the domain specification. |
| 5 | Following Core designations. | All Required and Expected tabulation variables are included as columns in the dataset. Required tabulation variables are populated for all records in the dataset. |
| 6 | Following conventions for variable naming. | The names of variables in the dataset are standardized per domain specifications and other applicable guidance. Controlled terminology for domain prefixes is used as specified for variable naming. |
| 7 | Following conventions for variable labels. | The labels for variables in the dataset are standardized per domain specifications and other applicable guidance. |
| 8Following | Following guidance for variable types. | The variables in the dataset standardized for either numeric or character values as specified per the domain specification. |
| 9 | Populating variable values in alignment with this guide. | All variables in the dataset are populated as expected per this guide including per general and domain-specific guidance, controlled terminology, and formatting. |
