The CDE Browser can be used to download collections of meta data describing data held in repositories for cancer research and clinical trials. These CDEs can be downloaded in Excel or XML Format. However, it is not always easy to find the desired collection, as CDEs are organized in the Navigation Tree by Context, not topic. Attempting to download all the Released CDEs would result in a file that is too large for an Excel download. The canned collections in the following list are provided for your convenience.
NCI Standard CDEs
- All production CDEs with Registration Status = "STANDARD" as of Sept 24, 2014
caDSR Community Released CDEs
- All non-retired production CDEs (CDEs with Workflow status NOT = "RETIRED....") as of July 29th, 2015
REDx - caDSR REDCap Transformation Utilities
- These are XSLT files that transform caDSR CDEs and Forms in XML format to a REDCap Data Dictionary:
- The transformation utility converts a single or multiple Form represented in XML to REDCap compatible csv format
- for CDE XML, the file may contain multiple CDEs
- for CRF XML, the file can contain one or more form per transform, please select teh correct version of the utility below

If importing caDSR content into another ISO/IEC 11179 registry, i.e. local implementation of cgMDR, please add the caDSR Registration Authority Identifier (RAI) 2.16.840.1.113883.3.26.2 to the metadata to keep the caDSR content distinct from the local repository. Per ISO/IEC 11179, the RAI is part of a globally unique identifier known as the IRID (Item Registry Identifier), and uniquely identifies registry content as being related to particular registrars. The IRID for all caDSR content is the <caDSR OID + Item public Id + item version>. For example, if the caDSR item public id = 2181292, version = 1.1, when importing you would add the RAI, and the result would be an IRID = 2.16.840.1.113883.3.26.2 + 2181292 + 1.1.
