Description: Our first Dataset-JSON Hackathon was a success, providing 21 solutions that use Dataset-JSON.
We look forward to similar success with Dataset-JSON Hackathon II. Unlike the first hackathon, participants in Hackathon II will work together as a team. The outcome will be a draft API specification for Dataset-JSON. The team will receive a starter set of use cases, which they will refine and extend. Once the team completes the API specification, CDISC will release it for comment.
Objectives:
- Primary objective: Create a draft API specification for Dataset-JSON
- Secondary objective: Develop proof-of-concept implementations to demonstrate and test the API specification
Key Dates:
- Kickoff: 31 Aug 2023
- Virtual Hackathon: 1 Sep – 19 Oct 2023
What is JSON?
An open standard file format and data interchange format that uses human-readable text to store and transmit data objects consisting of attribute–value pairs and arrays.
What is Dataset-JSON?
A dataset exchange standard for exchanging tabular data leveraging JSON designed to meet the regulatory submission needs and eliminating limitations of legacy formats.
Dataset-JSON is:
- Part of the ODM v2.0 standard
- An open-source MIT license
- Schema supporting any tabular format
- Extensible to support integrated metadata and new use cases
- Linked to Define-XML for complete metadata
- Integrated with CORE for conformance checking
Dataset-JSON Advantages:
- Based on the JSON standard used worldwide
- Open-source and truly human readable
- Same or smaller file sizes relative to current required format
- Removes variable naming, width, or format limitations
- Simple transformation to/from SAS data
