    345345I'm agnostic as far as techniques are concerned (the bits in brackets). But I see XSLT as being admirably suited to doing the grunt work on producing SQL inserts and CSV files. The inserts into the Ontology cell for the demo data system were held in a file exceeding 250M in size, and I suspect even the first stab at Onyx will produce something relatively large. I've produced a first cut at processing a set of variables.xml files into an intermediate ontology and will attach a complete set corresponding to my example export zip file. I've struggled with aspects of trying to get a relatively systematized view from the collection of variables files. The idea being that one xsd file covers the whole structure, whatever variables file is chosen. There are some complex convolutions to derive variables and their grouping into different structures which I think is easier to explore programatically, at least for the moment.[[BR]]

    347 The project I've started is currently in SVN within my sandbox area: onyx-to-i2b2. I'm uncertain about the structure of the project, and how it should eventually look, which is why it is sandboxed for the time being. When we have a better idea, code, examples, xslt, everything should be moved into another area of SVN and mavenized. There might need to be another project within the admin area of SVN which depicts scripts for exporting from onyx and readying for import into i2b2.

    354354   * Some variables have structured names "Admin.Participant.barcode" which are designed into Onyx. Easy enough to unpack into a structured ontology path.
    355355   * Some variables have structured names "famhist_death_sudden.brother4_death_sudden" which are allowed for but at the discretion of the questionnaire designer. The example is taken from the !RiskFactorQuesionnaire. These look more of a problem to unpack in a meaningful way.
