OpenClinica ODM

Category: Electronic data capture (EDC) platform

OpenClinica is a clinical data-management and EDC platform. Convert-Pheno reads OpenClinica study exports through the CDISC-ODM input route, including the recognized vendor extension namespace and metadata embedded in the ODM document. The tested profile is an ODM 1.3.2 Snapshot; independent export coverage is still limited.

OpenClinica ODM is parsed by the version-aware CDISC-ODM input route

What You Need

Use the normal CDISC-ODM input flag. The document must declare a supported ODM 1.3 namespace and version, use FileType="Snapshot", and include the metadata referenced by its clinical records.

The mapping file uses source.profile: cdisc-odm. Source fields are stable ODM item identifiers. Do not provide a REDCap dictionary: labels, data types, and decoded values come from metadata embedded in the XML.

convert-pheno -icdisc-odm openclinica-export.xml \
  --mapping-file openclinica-mapping.yaml \
  -obff individuals.json

When present, OpenClinica StudySubjectID becomes the individual identifier; the standard ODM SubjectKey remains in source provenance. PXF and OMOP-CDM output use the same input and mapping.

The CDISC-ODM guide documents repeated item groups, provenance, and supported versions. Mapping Files documents the authoring contract.
