Term | Definition |
---|---|
CDISC Library | The CDISC Library is a web-based solution providing a user with access to CDISC's data standards metadata. The CDISC Library is accessible though the Data Standards Browser (DSB). |
Data Standards Browser (DSB) | A CDISC product that provides an authenticated user with additional value-added tools for interacting with data from the CDISC Library, including interactive menus, search and scoping features, and the ability to filter by various criteria. Simply put, a user will use their CDISC Library credentials to visit the DSB and view data standards metadata provided by the CDISC Library. |
Jira | Jira is a software created by Atlassian for tracking bugs and issues. It is used by the CDISC Library Support Technician ("Support Technician") and the Azure Active Directory Administrator ("Azure Admin") to track CDISC Library accounts. |
Azure Active Directory B2C Tenant | A business-to-consumer (B2C) tenant housed on a resource in Microsoft's Azure platform that provides identity management for CDISC Library accounts. An Azure AD tenant is a specific instance of Azure AD containing accounts and groups. Simply put, the Active Directory houses the stored CDISC Library account data, including log-in information, for our users on a segmented chunk of our overall rented storage (or resource) from Azure. This data is segmented for integrity and security purposes, which is why it requires "switching directories" in Azure to access. |
