This is an example of an ADaM dataset designed to capture the reference data describing mortality rates.
RFMORT Dataset Metadata
| Dataset | Description | Class | Structure | Purpose | Keys | Location | Documentation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

RFMORT Variable Metadata
| Variable Name | Variable Label | Type | Codelist/Controlled Terms | Core | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| STRTM1 | Stratum 1 | text | Age | Req | populate with the variable descriptor of one of the cell descriptors (either a row identifier or a column identifier) - the left-most column in this example |
| STRVAL1 | Stratum 1 Value | integer | Req | populate with the STRTM1 values in the source data (Age in this example) | |
| STRTM2 | Stratum 2 | text | Sex | Req | populate with the variable descriptor of one of the cell descriptors (either a row identifier or a column identifier) - the second column in this example |
| STRVAL2 | Stratum 2 Value | text | M;F | Req | populate with the STRTM2 values in the source data (Sex in this example) |
| STRTM3 | Stratum 3 | text | Race | Req | populate with the variable descriptor of one of the cell descriptors (either a row identifier or a column identifier) - the third column in this example |
| STRVAL3 | Stratum 3 Value | text | WHITE | Req | populate with the STRTM3 values in the source data (Race in this example) |
| STRTM4 | Stratum 4 | text | Year | Req | populate with the variable descriptor of one of the cell descriptors (either a row identifier or a column identifier) - the fourth column in this example |
| STRVAL4 | Stratum 4 Value | integer | Req | populate with the STRTM4 values in the source data (Year in this example) | |
| STRTM5 | Stratum 5 | text | PRODUCT COMPARATORS | Req | populate with the variable descriptor of one of the cell descriptors (either a row identifier or a column identifier) - the fifth column in this example |
| STRVAL5 | Stratum 5 Value | text | DED1 | Req | populate with the STRTM5 values in the source data |
| INPRM | Input Parameter | text | MORTALITY PROBABILITY | Req | populate with the concept describing the value in the cell being captured in the dataset. it may come from a spreadsheet tab name, a spreadsheet name, or any desired parameter indentifying value |
| INPRMVAL | Input Parameter Value | float | Req | populate with the cell value from the referenced data that is being described by the STRMVALy values |
Metadata Table Debug Message
The purpose specified in the Purpose parameter is "Analysis", but "RFMORT" isn't an analysis dataset name.
