  • Medical research protocol designers
  • Clinical and scientific research data and metadata managers
  • Clinicians
  • Patients
  • Medical research study participants

Requirement Type (required)

Analyst's assessement of the most appropriate category/type of requirement (no need to ask interviewee):

  • Functional: Fundamental or essential to the product - describes what the product has to do or what processing is needed
  • Nonfunctional: properties the functions must have such as performance, usability, training or documentation
    • Project constraint: schedule or budget constraints
    • Design constraint: impose restrictions on how the product must be designed, such as conformant to ISO 11179, utilizes 21090 or is able to work on a particular type of device
    • Project driver: business-related forces such as descriptions of stakeholders or purpose of the product/project
    • Project issue: conditions that will contribute to the success or failure of the project

 repository to&nbsp; create new forms that are compatible with existing content. \\
\\
This requirement includes the following 4 use cases: \\
(1) collection of standardized data utilizing reusable data elements \\
(2) defining the form structure \\
(3) defining the form behavior \\
(4) generating the data persistence models to support the form. \\
\\
The tool should&nbsp;interact with a repository (or multiple repositories)&nbsp;that stores: \\
\\
\- Data Element-centric metadata including the abstract concept (CDE) with its associated value domain&nbsp;(e.g. in Knowledge Repository). Data elements should be able to be used regardless of&nbsp;their source (a form based CDE or model based CDE that became available through model load to Knowledge Repository). \\
\\
\- Form metadata including&nbsp;the definition of the form structure including sections, order and their relationships. And also the form behavior including value set constraints, skip logic, repetition and optionality \\
\\
\- Persistence metadata including the contextually defined and constrained instance of use of an abstract concept in a data persistence model,&nbsp; and the binding of form structural elements to persistence model elements in a given context of use \\ |
