About data mappings, data sets, and data series
You use data mappings, data sets, and data series to group items into abstract associations. The associations that you create are independent of the way that you collect data values in forms.
- Data mappings—A data mapping is a data grouping that provides an alternate data view of a study. For example, you can group data sets to form an SDTM (Study Data Tabulation Model) data mapping.
- Data sets—A data set is a grouping of one or more related data series. For example, the Temperature data series and Weight data series might comprise a Vital Signs data set.
- Data series—A data series is a grouping of one or more items with the same clinical meaning, such as one or more items that measure weight.
Example—Data mapping: Vital signs
