An ItemGroupDef describes a type of item group that can occur within a study.
The Repeating flag indicates that this type of item group can occur repeatedly within the containing element.
If IsReferenceData is Yes, this type of item group can occur only within a ReferenceData element. If IsReferenceData is No, this type of item group can occur only within a ClinicalData element. The default for this attribute is No.
In general, the Domain, Origin, and Purpose attributes would carry submission information and the Comment attribute allows annotations. These attributes could have constraints on individual ODM extensions like Define-XML or associated CDISC Metadata Guidelines.
Note: The Role attribute can be considered a synonym for Purpose. New applications should use Purpose rather than Role.
