Data dictionary

This data dictionary serves as the foundation for creating data models and XML schemas describing the OOTS procedural requirements. It lists the information requirements identified for each procedural requirement by the OOTS evidence mapping sub-group. The source of each information requirement is listed in the 'Information requirement occurs in ' column.

A comprehensive list of evidence, categorised by domain, is available on the OOTS Evidence modelling homepage.
