Often, analysis results are created and represented as static PDF documents that may contain hundreds of tables. These tables are often difficult to navigate and there can be significant variability between sponsors. Generating these reports is expensive and are typically only used once, offering limited reusability.

A typical workflow that involves for producing analysis results involves the end user generating the display in a static format such as RTF or PDF using from the Analysis Data Model (ADaM) dataset. The Analysis Results Metadata (ARM) for define.xml is created retrospectively generated, which provides as high-level metadata documentation about analysis displays and results (Figure 1); however, there is no formal model or structures to describe analysis results and associated metadata which leaves , leaving a gap in standardization. The current process is expensive, time-consuming, and lacks automation and traceability, leading to unnecessary variation in analysis results reporting.
