Team Characteristics The CDISC Controlled Terminology program consists of more than 10 active terminology teams responsible for developing terminology to support Foundational Standards and Therapeutic Areas. These teams consist of terminology and subject matter experts, data and standards personnel from pharmaceutical companies and CROs, academic researchers, and personnel from regulatory authorities. |
NCI EVS The US National Cancer Institute's Enterprise Vocabulary Services provides services including team leadership and management, adherence to terminology best practices, definition writing, subject matter expertise, terminology publication, and maintenance. CDISC terminology is incorporated as part of the NCI Thesaurus (ncit.nci.nih.gov). |
Team Mission Primary Objectives
Adopt…Adapt…Develop Philosophy
|
Scope The CDISC Terminology Team supports the terminology needs of all CDISC foundational standards (SDTM, CDASH, ADaM, SEND) and all CFAST disease/therapeutic area standards. Based on the new/modified terms that need to be developed each team has about a 3-month development cycle. The teams evaluate the requests received, incorporating as much as possible for each quarterly release. Each quarter has a public review comment period followed by a publication release. All approved controlled terminology is stored on the NCI EVS Ftp site and can be accessed via the CDISC website. CDISC staff coordinate the teams and maintain the membership through careful selection of volunteer experts who can contribute to its various sub-teams with their technical or therapeutic-based subject matter expertise. Volunteers can contribute by contacting the leadership team or any team lead. |
