edc-cdisc

CDISC ODM export for the clinicedc clinical-trial data-collection framework.

edc-cdisc reads the visit schedule, CRF definitions, and submitted data from a clinicedc installation and produces standards-compliant XML in CDISC ODM 1.3.1 format.

It provides three serializers, all built on the same class hierarchy (Serializer → VisitScheduleSerializer → the concrete serializers):

Serializer	Produces
MetadataSerializer	<Study> — the study definition (visit schedule, forms, items, code lists)
ClinicalDataSerializer	<ClinicalData> — submitted CRF values
SnapshotSerializer	a combined <Study> + <ClinicalData> document

Transactional (incremental) export is planned but not yet implemented; it will be driven by the audit trail.
