CodingMap

Purpose

Specifies the mappings for one verbatim item to be coded.

Syntax

<CODINGMAP    
  REFNAME="name"    
  [VERBATIMTYPE="type"]>    
  <DICTIONARY attributes/>    
  <CODETARGET+ attributes/>    
  <CONTEXTINFORMATION*/>
</CODINGMAP>

Attributes

REFNAME="name"

RefName of the coding mapping component containing the verbatim item to be coded. Required.

VERBATIMTYPE="type"

Type of verbatim to be coded. Optional. This value corresponds to the item type in the Oracle Central Coding application:

  • AE—Adverse event
  • DISEASE—Disease
  • LABDATA—Lab data
  • MEDPROD—Medical product

AE, DISEASE, and LABDATA are valid verbatim types for the MedDRA dictionary. MEDPROD is a valid verbatim type for the WHO-DD dictionary.

Children

A CodingMap element has the following child elements:

  • One Dictionary element specifying the coding dictionary to use.
  • At least one CodeTarget element specifying the mapping between theOracle InForm control holding the data after it is coded and the dictionary code target used to code the data.
  • Optionally, a ContextInformation element containing one or more ContextItem elements. A ContextItem element specifies the mapping between an Oracle InForm control providing additional context information and the dictionary context item used to code the data.
