get_adam_metadata: ADaM Metadata

In clinCompare: Dataset Comparison with 'CDISC' Validation for Clinical Trial Data

ADaM Metadata

Description

Returns metadata for ADaM datasets following CDISC standards. Provides information about required, conditional, and other variables for each ADaM analysis dataset.

Usage

get_adam_metadata(version = "1.3")

Arguments

version

Character string specifying the ADaM IG version. Supported values: "1.3" (default), "1.2", "1.1". Note: All versions currently return identical variable definitions. The ADaM IG revisions (1.1 -> 1.3) changed guidance and rules but not the core variable inventory. The parameter exists for provenance tracking only – it does not enable version-specific validation.

Details

Variable definitions are based on the published CDISC ADaM Implementation Guide. The canonical machine-readable source is the CDISC Library API (https://www.cdisc.org/cdisc-library), which requires CDISC membership. The metadata shipped with clinCompare is hand-curated from the published IG specifications.

Value

A named list where keys are ADaM dataset names and values are data.frames with columns:

variable

Variable name (character)

label

Variable label/description (character)

type

Data type: "Char" for character or "Num" for numeric

core

Importance level: "Req" (Required), "Cond" (Conditional)
