This directory contains documentation, data files, and other resources related

to controlled terminology used by the Clinical Data Interchange Standards

Consortium (CDISC).  NCI Enterprise Vocabulary Services (EVS) is working with

CDISC to develop and support controlled terminology in several areas, notably

CDISC's Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM), the Clinical Data Acquisition

Standards Harmonization (CDASH) Standard, the Analysis Data Model (ADaM),

the Standard for the Exchange of Nonclinical Data (SEND) terminology, Define-XML

Terminology, Protocol Terminology, CDISC Glossary, the Digital Dataflow (DDF) 

Unified Study Definitions Model (USDM) terminology, and the MRCT Center Clinical

Research Glossary.



With the December 18, 2015 release, the standalone Questionnaires, Ratings, and

Scales (QRS) terminology file has been deprecated and its content subsumed into

the Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM) Terminology.  Additionally the CDISC Clinical

Data Element Glossary has been deprecated and archived.
