What is data mapping?

The Oracle InForm and Oracle Argus Safety integration uses the data mapping feature of Oracle Central Designer to configure how safety event data items on Oracle InForm forms correspond to safety event entities in Oracle Argus Safety.

A data mapping is made up of data sets, and each data set is made up of data series:

• A data set is a grouping of one or more related data series.
• A data series is a grouping of one or more items with the same clinical meaning, such as or more items that collect medical history.

When you design a study, you map the data series in each data set to the Oracle InForm items that provide the source data to transmit to Oracle Argus Safety. Mappings for almost all of the data series are optional; you map only the data series that provide applicable safety event information for your study.
