Personal Project Archive

Metadata is the original personal software prototype I built as a learning project and record of my programming ideas. This page serves as the technical archive.

Learning Focus

I used the Metadata project to explore ways to reduce repetitive manual steps and to learn how a desktop application could organise common programming tasks.

Technical Record

The material below records experimental features and interface ideas. It is a development project.

FEATURE ARCHIVE

The prototype explored adding bookmarks to Case Report Forms (CRFs) and TFL shells, as well as adding raw dataset variable names to a CRF.

Bookmarks

Raw Variables

SPECIFICATIONS

The prototype explored creating dataset specifications from CDISC documentation, using either a blank file or a personal template.

SDTM

ADaM / Analysis

The prototype used SDTM and ADaM specification structures to explore faster, more consistent annotation of CRFs and TFL shells.

TERMINOLOGY

This experiment explored simpler ways to search NCI/CDISC Controlled Terminology and assemble relevant code lists for a study.

PACKAGING

The prototype explored locating files, building archive and delivery structures, and generating reports showing what was present or missing.

PROGRAMMING

The prototype experimented with reading SAS templates and generating blank study-program files as a learning exercise.
