13. Suggested UML Guidance Goal is to provide reusable/searchable metadata for manual and automated curation methods Standardize CDEs from existing caDSR content Two acceptable UML models shown, in order of preference. Highly recommended: UML model to fit proposed standard CDEs Acceptable: Use standard attribute and value domain if alternate class name is necessary

14. UML Model Guidance (Preference #1) Person Clinical License Suffix Code Person Academic Degree Suffix Code Person Certification Suffix Code Use Standard CDEs UML Model

15. UML Model Guidance (Acceptable) Use other Class name with attributes clinicalLicense (C25398, C43611), academicDegree (C25354) and certification (C43610). Map attribute to Value Domain, Academic Degree Suffix Code.
