RADx-rad Mapping Introduction

This documentation explains how to take pre-existing RADx-rad metadata and convert it into RADx Metadata. It should be noted that the pre-existing RADx-rad metadata specification is for study-level metadata but the RADx Metadata Specification is for data-file-level metadata. Despite this, the majority of study-level fields can be mapped into the data-file-level fields described in this metadata specification.

RADx-rad Metadata Template

The RADx-rad metadata template is defined in a spreadsheet (CSV file) shown below. Our mapping is based on the content of this spreadsheet.
