Introduction

ODM is an XML format developed by CDISC for exchanging and archiving clinic trial data. The i2b2 import tool allows for importing all ODM version 1.3 files from a given directory into an i2b2 database.

While ODM is vendor-independent in theory, mapping of the internal data models from different CDMS might lead to slightly different ODM 'shapes' in practice. The import tool was tested with:

• SecuTrial 4.6
• OpenClinica 3.0-3.4

Selecting a target project

Select a staging server, then select the i2b2 schema to import into, right click >> Import Data >> Import CDISC-ODM. In the following dialog, select a directory that contains all ODM files.

Clicking okay will start the import process. Progress will be displayed in a graphical bar and status messages are logged.

Once the import ended successfully, you can access the project in the i2b2 webclient.
