The Standards data set
is used by the SAS Clinical Standards Toolkit framework to store information
about a standard version. All standards that are provided by SAS,
and standards that you might want to add are defined in the global
standards library in the metadata/standards data set. All calls to
the %cst_registerstandard macro that are described in Chapter 2 interact
directly with the metadata/standards data set.
Metadata/Standards Data Set Structure in the Global Standards
Library
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The name of the registered
standard.
|
|
|
|
A short mnemonic for
the standard.
|
|
|
|
The version number of
the registered standard. Must be unique within the standard.
|
|
|
|
The standard group across
versions, such as STDM or TERMINOLOGY.
|
|
|
|
The version of the groupname,
often the same as standardversion.
|
|
|
|
A description of the
registered standard version.
|
|
|
|
The root path for the
standard version's directory in the global standards library.
|
|
|
|
The root path to the
study repository. This can be used to initialize the studyRootPath
and studyOutputPath global macro variables and to use relative paths
to study library subfolders. By default, this is set to the sample
library that is associated with each standard provided by SAS.
|
|
|
|
The control folder path
(relative to rootpath). This value provides the location of data sets
that are required for standard registration (such as Standards and
StandardSASReferences).
|
|
|
|
The template folder
path (relative to rootpath). This value provides the location of
data sets that are specific to the standard that serve as templates
for standard-specific processes.
|
|
|
|
A value that identifies
whether the version is the default for the standard. More than one
version can be registered and you can still have a default version.
Valid values are Y and N.
|
|
|
|
A value that identifies
whether the standard version is part of the framework. This column
can be used to subset the list of registered standards. Valid values
are Y and N.
|
|
|
|
A value that identifies
whether the standard version is a data standard. For example, CDISC
SDTM versions are data standards, and CDISC Terminology is not. Valid
values are Y and N.
|
|
|
|
A value that identifies
whether the standard version supports validation. Valid values are
Y and N.
|
|
|
|
A value that identifies
whether the standard version is based on XML. CDISC SDTM is not, and
CDISC CRT-DDS is. Valid values are Y and N.
|
|
|
|
If the standard version
is based on XML, then this is the path to the XSL file to import the
XML into the SAS representation.
|
|
|
|
If the standard version
is based on XML, then this is the path to the XSL file to export the
XML file.
|
|
|
|
If the standard version
is based on XML, then this is the path to the XML schema document
that can be used to validate the XML.
|
|
|
|
The revision of the
standard and standardversion that is currently installed.

The global standards
library data set provided with the SAS Clinical Standards Toolkit
is here:
global standards library directory/metadata/standards.sas7bdatThe global standards
library data set contains these records, which are provided with the
SAS Clinical Standards Toolkit 1.5 (the columns are continued in the
subsequent two images):
Metadata/Standards Data Set Content in the Global Standards
Library
The
&_cstGRoot in
the
rootpath column maps to the
global standards library directory that
is set by calling the cstutil_setcstgroot macro.
&_cstSRoot
in the studylibraryrootpath column maps to the
sample study library directory
that is set by calling the cstutil_setcstsroot macro.
An example of the global
standards library data set that is used to register a specific standard
is here:
global standards library directory/standards/cdisc-sdtm-3.1.2-1.5/control/standards.sas7bdat
