Guidelines for library development
Creating study objects
- Create study objects with reuse in mind, and reuse study objects as much as possible. Creating study objects takes some time, but you will save time in the long run when you reuse the study objects.
- Build study objects in a library using a top-down or bottom-up approach, just as you can for study objects in a study.
- Try to design study objects completely before adding them to a library. For example, add rules to study objects before adding the study objects to a library, so you do not need to recreate the rules every time you reuse the study objects.
Organizing libraries
Consider creating a different library for therapeutic areas, specific components, and the product that is being tested. For example:
- You can create an oncology library, a pediatrics library, and an infectious diseases library.
- You can create separate production libraries for approved user-defined functions and approved codelists.
Types to create
A library that has been built and maintained appropriately is a powerful tool that helps to decrease the time and effort needed for building a study. You can set up libraries as needed. Oracle recommends creating two different types of libraries, staging libraries and production libraries.
