Overview of the Clinical Data API

The Clinical Data API is an application program interface (API) that allows remote users; that is, users who do not have access to the physical machine on which the Oracle Life Sciences InForm application is installed, to submit clinical data to the Oracle InForm application.

To submit data to the Oracle InForm application using the Clinical Data API, you must use an XML format called Oracle InForm ODM. Oracle InForm ODM is based on the ODM XML schema, and has Oracle InForm-specific extensions.

For a description of the supported elements and attributes for Oracle InForm ODM, see ODM Submit elements.
