Analysis dataset structures in this guide provide a standard way to build analysis datasets. Currently ADaM has 3 structures: ADSL, BDS, and OCCDS, which correspond to the SUBJECT LEVEL ANALYSIS DATASET, BASIC DATA STRUCTURE, and OCCURRENCE DATA STRUCTURE classes of ADaM datasets. Analysis datasets that follow the ADaM fundamental principles and other ADaM conventions, but do not follow one of the 3 defined structures (ADSL, BDS, OCCDS), are considered to be ADaM datasets with a class of ADAM OTHER. Currently the ADaM standards do not cover non-subject data. A REFERENCE dataset structure has been developed for use in this guide and will be considered for inclusion in future versions of the ADaM.

ADaM dataset structures applicable to TIG use cases are described in the table below:
