Dataset-JSON must contain only one dataset per file. 

Top Level Attributes

At the top level of Dataset-JSON object, there are technical attributes and two main optional attributes: clinicalData and referenceData, corresponding to Dataset-XML elements. At least 1 of the main attributes must be provided. Subject data is stored in clinicalData and non-subject data is stored in referenceData.

AttributeUsageDescriptionAttribute order
creationDateTimeRequiredTime of creation of the file containing the document.1
datasetJSONVersionRequiredVersion of Dataset-JSON standard2
fileOIDOptionalA unique identifier for this file.3
asOfDateTimeOptionalThe date/time at which the source database was queried in order to create this document.4
originatorOptionalThe organization that generated the Dataset-JSON file.5
sourceSystemOptionalThe computer system or database management system that is the source of the information in this file.6
sourceSystemVersionOptionalThe version of the "sourceSystem" above.7
clinicalDataOptionalContains datasets for clinical data across multiple subjects.8
referenceDataOptionalContains datasets for non-subject data domains.9

Both clinicalData and referenceData have the same structure. Each of these attributes contains study and metadata OIDs, optional reference to the metadata file and an object describing an item group (dataset). The following attributes are defined on this level.

AttributeRequirementDescriptionAttribute order
studyOIDOptionalSee ODM definition for study OID (ODM/Study/@OID).1
metaDataVersionOIDOptionalSee ODM definition for metadata version OID (ODM/Study/MetaDataVersion/@OID).2
metaDataRefOptionalURL for a metadata file describing the data.3
itemGroupDataRequiredObject containing dataset information4

"itemData": {[
   [1, "MyStudy", "001", "DM", 56],
   [2, "MyStudy", "002", "DM", 26],
}   ...
]

Missing values are represented by null in the case of numeric variables, and an empty string in case of character variables: [1, "MyStudy", "", "DM", null]
