Various Techniques for Processing CDISC ODM XML
Chris Olinger, Thotwave Technologies

This paper describes various techniques for processing the CDISC Operation Data Model (ODM) using SAS, Java, and XSLT. The CDISC ODM group's stated mission is to "develop a vendor independent standard model for the interchange and archiving of clinical tri als data with study metadata." However, all of this means little if you cannot get the data out of it and process it effectively using your favorite tools (aka SAS). This talk will deal with the issues and techniques surrounding processing ODM XML for use with SAS.
