The HIV_Sequence Data Collection Definition (HDBP0263)

In the files below you can find the Data Collection Definition (DCD) specifications of the registry HIV_Sequence. It is a detailed description of the content of the DCD's with field names, formats, values, validation rules, help texts, error messages, translations... These specifications were used to build the forms and csv files for this project, which you also can find in this project manual.

A metadata file containing the HIV sequence analysis information

• URL data collection:

• DCD specification

The nucleotide sequence file

• DCD specification:

Records between both files are linked based on the fields 'File name' (TX_ATT) and 'Record name' (TX_ATT_RECRD) based on following nomenclature convention:

File name: This field is used as the first key for linkage between the data sent through HD4DP1 (patient & sample data) and SFTP (nucleotide sequences data). This field must contain the same value for both uploaded records to allow the 1 to many link. Please use this convention: ARL_yyyymmddHHMMSS (name of ARL and date-time stamp of the file, e.g. HSP_20240827092014). The name of the csv file with nucleotide sequences sent through SFTP must have this value in order to be linked with the patient & sample data (at file level), e.g. HSP_20240827092014.csv.

Record name: This field is used as the second key for linkage between the data sent through HD4DP1 (patient & sample data) and SFTP (nucleotide sequences data). This field must contain the same unique value for both uploaded records to allow the 1 to 1 link. Please use this convention: ARL_yyyymmddHHMMSS_xxxxx (name of ARL, date-time stamp of the file and a unique 5-digit number, e.g. HSP_20240827092014_00001).
