title: Metadata driven generation of reports for clinical studies.
abstract: We have developed a reporting engine to dynamically create Web-based reports for multiple types of clinical studies in a large-scale clinical study data management system (CSDMS), TrialDB. The engine, currently in production use, generates reports based on metadata that is defined through a GUI, thus eliminating the need to write code for every report.
