Topic: Machine Readable Specifications

Machine readable means the project plan contains PROC SQL blocks that are designed to be included into downstream SAS programs in a way that signals success or failure of each written criterion.

Database constraints may be embedded directly into project plan documents - like CDISC spreadsheets for SDTM and ADAM datasets.

Machine readable specifications remove (or minimize) the potential for "Errors and Omissions" that are caused by interpretation(s) and translation(s) of traditional specifications written in plain English.
