    • Implementation note: Because reference data can be independent of any particular study, it may be desirable to keep the reference metadata separate from clinical metadata. This can be done by creating a Study element with no Protocol, StudyEventDef, or Type="Form" ItemGroupDef elements. All other ItemGroupDefs elements would have IsReferenceData=Yes. Such a study would have no clinical data.
