Data Structure NameData Structure DescriptionClass of DatasetCDISC Notes
REFERENDSReference Data StructureREFERENCE DATA STRUCTUREReference dataset names must begin with RF and can contain up to 6 additional characters

Need to describe ADaM naming convention:

  • Prefix RF
  • With 6 characters to make dataset meaningful
  • Example for birthrate
    • RFBR (Reference Input Parameters for Birthrate)

We need standard names for all example datasets with conventions for new dataset names not shown in this guide (per current approach)

Make sure to include in Fundamentals section with related guidance:   

  • The lower-case letters "w", "xx", "y", and "zz" that appear in a variable name or label in this document must be replaced in the actual variable name or label using the following conventions:
    • The lower-case letter "y" in a variable name (e.g., SITEGRy) refers to a grouping or other 
      categorization scheme, an analysis criterion, or an analysis range, and is replaced with an integer 
      [1–99, not zero-padded]. Truncation of the original variable name may be necessary in rare 
      situations when a 2-digit index is needed and causes the length of the variable name to exceed 8 
      characters. In these situations, it is recommended that the same truncation be used for both the 
      character and numeric versions of the variables in a variable pair.

Proposed standard structure designed to capture reference data that is not captured in SDTM and may be used as input into SDTM or ADaM creation
