'''RCT Schema Terms'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following is the initial list selected by Barry. RCT Schema definitions for these terms are available on this document: [[Media:ForCTO_031207.doc|ForCTO_031207.doc]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We also created an additional list: proposed RCT Schema definitions for the terms in the list are available on this document:&lt;br /&gt;
[[Media:ForCTO_041807.doc|ForCTO_041807.doc]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[High-level_Concepts_v0.2|On this page]] there is a draft positioning of some of our terms into the high level concept list drafted by Richard. &lt;br /&gt;

##Phase IV: Data analysis&lt;br /&gt;
###Analyze data&lt;br /&gt;
###Interpret findings&lt;br /&gt;
##Phase V: Communication&lt;br /&gt;
###Report findings&lt;br /&gt;
###Suggest future studies&lt;br /&gt;
#Theory – a set of interrelated concepts, definitions or propositions that specifies relationships among variables a represents a systematic view of specific phenomena.  A good theory should provide a thorough and rationale explanation of observed facts, and should be economical, important and fluid.&lt;br /&gt;
#Hypothesis - specific predictions based on a theory.&lt;br /&gt;
#Concepts – abstraction that allow us to classify natural phenomena and empirical observations&lt;br /&gt;
#Constructs – concepts that represent non-observable behaviors or events&lt;br /&gt;
#Variables – concepts that can be assigned values and thus must be defined operationally by the methods for measuring or evaluating them&lt;br /&gt;
#Propositions – state the relationships between variables&lt;br /&gt;
##Hierarchical – show vertical relationships&lt;br /&gt;
##Temporal – order concepts in time and states a sequence of events&lt;br /&gt;
##Quantitative – frequency or duration of a specific behavior&lt;br /&gt;
#Model – symbolic representation of the elements of a system&lt;br /&gt;
##Physical&lt;br /&gt;
##Schematic&lt;br /&gt;
##Process&lt;br /&gt;
##Statistical&lt;br /&gt;
#Inductive theory – theory based on empirically verifiable observations&lt;br /&gt;
#Hypothetical-deductive theory – theory developed on the basis of great insight and intuitive understanding with few or no prior observations&lt;br /&gt;
#Law – a theory that has reached a level of absolute consistency in outcome, thus allowing precise prediction.&lt;br /&gt;
#Empirical observations =&amp;gt; Facts =&amp;gt; Conceptual Framework =&amp;gt; Theory =&amp;gt; Research hypothesis =&amp;gt; Facts&lt;br /&gt;
#Deduction – theory testing&lt;br /&gt;
#Induction – theory development&lt;br /&gt;

'''RCT Schema Terms'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following is the initial list selected by Barry. RCT Schema definitions for these terms are available on this document: [[Media:ForCTO_031207.doc|ForCTO_031207.doc]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We also created an additional list: proposed RCT Schema definitions for the terms in the list are available on this document:&lt;br /&gt;
[[Media:ForCTO_041807.doc|ForCTO_041807.doc]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Draft4RCT|On this page]] there is a draft positioning of some of our terms into the high level concept list drafted by Richard. &lt;br /&gt;

###Analyze data&lt;br /&gt;
###Interpret findings&lt;br /&gt;
##Phase V: Communication&lt;br /&gt;
###Report findings&lt;br /&gt;
###Suggest future studies&lt;br /&gt;
#Theory – a set of interrelated concepts, definitions or propositions that specifies relationships among variables a represents a systematic view of specific phenomena.  A good theory should provide a thorough and rationale explanation of observed facts, and should be economical, important and fluid.&lt;br /&gt;
#Hypothesis - specific predictions based on a theory.&lt;br /&gt;
#Concepts – abstraction that allow us to classify natural phenomena and empirical observations&lt;br /&gt;
#Constructs – concepts that represent non-observable behaviors or events&lt;br /&gt;
#Variables – concepts that can be assigned values and thus must be defined operationally by the methods for measuring or evaluating them&lt;br /&gt;
#Propositions – state the relationships between variables&lt;br /&gt;
##Hierarchical – show vertical relationships&lt;br /&gt;
##Temporal – order concepts in time and states a sequence of events&lt;br /&gt;
##Quantitative – frequency or duration of a specific behavior&lt;br /&gt;
#Model – symbolic representation of the elements of a system&lt;br /&gt;
##Physical&lt;br /&gt;
##Schematic&lt;br /&gt;
##Process&lt;br /&gt;
##Statistical&lt;br /&gt;
#Inductive theory – theory based on empirically verifiable observations&lt;br /&gt;
#Hypothetical-deductive theory – theory developed on the basis of great insight and intuitive understanding with few or no prior observations&lt;br /&gt;
#Law – a theory that has reached a level of absolute consistency in outcome, thus allowing precise prediction.&lt;br /&gt;
#Empirical observations =&amp;gt; Facts =&amp;gt; Conceptual Framework =&amp;gt; Theory =&amp;gt; Research hypothesis =&amp;gt; Facts&lt;br /&gt;
#Deduction – theory testing&lt;br /&gt;
#Induction – theory development&lt;br /&gt;

#Theory – a set of interrelated concepts, definitions or propositions that specifies relationships among variables a represents a systematic view of specific phenomena.  A good theory should provide a thorough and rationale explanation of observed facts, and should be economical, important and fluid.&lt;br /&gt;
#Hypothesis - specific predictions based on a theory.&lt;br /&gt;
#Concepts – abstraction that allow us to classify natural phenomena and empirical observations&lt;br /&gt;
#Constructs – concepts that represent non-observable behaviors or events&lt;br /&gt;
#Variables – concepts that can be assigned values and thus must be defined operationally by the methods for measuring or evaluating them&lt;br /&gt;
#Propositions – state the relationships between variables&lt;br /&gt;
##Hierarchical – show vertical relationships&lt;br /&gt;
##Temporal – order concepts in time and states a sequence of events&lt;br /&gt;

#Theory – a set of interrelated concepts, definitions or propositions that specifies relationships among variables a represents a systematic view of specific phenomena.  A good theory should provide a thorough and rationale explanation of observed facts, and should be economical, important and fluid.&lt;br /&gt;
#Hypothesis - specific predictions based on a theory.&lt;br /&gt;
#Concepts – abstraction that allow us to classify natural phenomena and empirical observations&lt;br /&gt;
#Constructs – concepts that represent non-observable behaviors or events&lt;br /&gt;
#Variables – concepts that can be assigned values and thus must be defined operationally by the methods for measuring or evaluating them&lt;br /&gt;
#Propositions – state the relationships between variables&lt;br /&gt;
##Hierarchical – show vertical relationships&lt;br /&gt;
##Temporal – order concepts in time and states a sequence of events&lt;br /&gt;
##Quantitative – frequency or duration of a specific behavior&lt;br /&gt;
#Model – symbolic representation of the elements of a system&lt;br /&gt;
##Physical&lt;br /&gt;
##Schematic&lt;br /&gt;
##Process&lt;br /&gt;
##Statistical&lt;br /&gt;
#Inductive theory – theory based on empirically verifiable observations&lt;br /&gt;
#Hypothetical-deductive theory – theory developed on the basis of great insight and intuitive understanding with few or no prior observations&lt;br /&gt;
#Law – a theory that has reached a level of absolute consistency in outcome, thus allowing precise prediction.&lt;br /&gt;

#Hypothesis - specific predictions based on a theory.&lt;br /&gt;
#Concepts – abstraction that allow us to classify natural phenomena and empirical observations&lt;br /&gt;
#Constructs – concepts that represent non-observable behaviors or events&lt;br /&gt;
#Variables – concepts that can be assigned values and thus must be defined operationally by the methods for measuring or evaluating them&lt;br /&gt;
#Propositions – state the relationships between variables&lt;br /&gt;
##Hierarchical – show vertical relationships&lt;br /&gt;
##Temporal – order concepts in time and states a sequence of events&lt;br /&gt;
##Quantitative – frequency or duration of a specific behavior&lt;br /&gt;
#Model – symbolic representation of the elements of a system&lt;br /&gt;
##Physical&lt;br /&gt;
##Schematic&lt;br /&gt;
##Process&lt;br /&gt;
##Statistical&lt;br /&gt;
#Inductive theory – theory based on empirically verifiable observations&lt;br /&gt;
#Hypothetical-deductive theory – theory developed on the basis of great insight and intuitive understanding with few or no prior observations&lt;br /&gt;
#Law – a theory that has reached a level of absolute consistency in outcome, thus allowing precise prediction.&lt;br /&gt;
#Empirical observations =&amp;gt; Facts =&amp;gt; Conceptual Framework =&amp;gt; Theory =&amp;gt; Research hypothesis =&amp;gt; Facts&lt;br /&gt;
#Deduction – theory testing&lt;br /&gt;
#Induction – theory development&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;== Goals of the Clinical Trial Ontology Initiative==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The proposed CTO should:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(1) fully and faithfully capture the types of entities and relationships involved in clinical trials of any experimental design&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(2) comprehend terms like: ''cohort, randomization, placebo, response, efficacy, control, protocol, null hypothesis, confidence interval, finding, biomarker, primary outcome, secondary outcome, intervention group, experimental design,'' etc., including also major relevant statistical terms and terms drawn from resources such as the CDISC [http://www.cdisc.org/glossary/clinicalterminologyv4.pdf glossary] and &lt;br /&gt;
all terms needed for the task of meta-analysis of clinical trials; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(3) organize these terms in a structured way, providing definitions and logical relations designed to enhance retrieval of, reasoning with, and integration of the data annotated in its terms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(4) support trial bank interoperation&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(5) form an integral part of the more comprehensive framework of the Ontology for Biomedical Investigations [http://obi.sourceforge.net/ OBI], which itself forms part of the [http://obofoundry.org/ OBO Foundry]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(6) draw on and seek maximal alignment with existing clinical trial ontologies, including the [http://smi.stanford.edu/smi-web/research/details.jsp?PubId=1227 Epoch ontology] used by the [http://www.immunetolerance.org/ Immune Tolerance Network] and the[http://rctbank.ucsf.edu/ontology/outline/index.htm RCT Schema] ontology used by the[http://rctbank.ucsf.edu/ Trial Bank Project]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(7) rest on a clear understanding of the relation between CTO and an epidemiology study ontology&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(8) rest on a clear understanding of the relation between CTO and data-model-oriented initiatives such as CDISC and BRIDG.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(9) meet the requirements of the [http://obofoundry.org OBO Foundry], and in particular support an adequate treatment of the distinction between ''types'' (''surgical intervention'', ''tumor'', ''human being'') and ''instances'' (Jane's oophorectomy, John's tumor, Fritz)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
