CDISC SHARE – Progress Report by Rhonda Facile

By now, many of you have heard about the CDISC SHARE project.  For those of you that haven’t,   this new initiative seeks to develop multi-dimensional, machine-readable clinical study metadata that is based on ISO data standards and the BRIDG model. In short we want to change the way we develop standards to an approach that focuses on precise definitions, terminology and metadata (BRIDG, datatypes, variable names, etc.) to take a date element/concept from the clinical protocol, through collection, analysis and submission.  To quote Dave Iberson-Hurst, CDISC is, “moving from the implicit world of data standards to the explicit world of data standards”.

Reasons to Celebrate - The Protocol Representation Model

Diane Wold of GSK gives her personal insights into the Protocol Representation Model

Those of us who started working toward a structured protocol representation in 2003 were motivated by the feeling that there had to be a better way to communicate information about a study than a text document.  The protocol is at the heart of clinical research, so it's just not effective or efficient for all the parties involved to extract data from text ...

Julie Evans at ISO in North Carolina

I’m just back from the ISO TC 215 Joint Working Group meeting in Durham, North Carolina.  I was there to give a BRIDG update to Working Groups 1 and 2.  The update included a quick BRIDG status, a review of the New Work Item Proposal (NWIP) results  for BRIDG (it passed in August 2009), and the plans for the upcoming ballot through the Joint Initiative Committee (JIC) process.  The group voted to propose  a resolution to the plenary to ballot BRIDG.  So, we’re making progress in our effort to make BRIDG a global, open, publicly available standard.
