6 Import and Manage Data

This section, which is intended for users who have the datasource manager role, describes Oracle Site Select supported datasources and describes how to map and import regular datasources.

• Understanding composite and regular datasources
  Oracle Site Select supports use of composite (complex and structured) and regular (flat) datasources.
• Managing multiple datasources
  Data merges can be completed by different methods when a study has multiple attached datasources. Standard Oracle Site Select columns have predefined data merging while customer datasource managers define data merging for custom columns. Additionally, when a study has multiple datasources, datasource managers can define datasource priority.
• Citeline datasource
  When subscribed and configured, one or more studies in an account can include the curated Citeline datasource.
• Mapping and importing regular datasources
  Oracle Site Select users who have permission to access the Data source management page have the ability to create, import, and publish one or more study data sets.
• Disambiguating data
  The Oracle Site Select data disambiguation match resolution feature surfaces possible matching records that require human review and intervention to resolve.
• Performing targeted investigator and trial searches
  With the appropriate user permissions, you can find and add investigators and trials directly to the Nominate bucket.
