CUAHSI's ODM 1.1 has several controlled vocabulary tables. This web page has been developed to promote
consistency between different instances of the ODM through a moderated system for changing the
master controlled vocabularies. This web page displays the master controlled vocabulary
entries and allows users to request additions or changes to these. Users may then update their ODM
controlled vocabulary tables from this master set using ODM tools as described below.
Changes that you request will be forwarded to the master controlled vocabulary moderators who will attend
to requests as promptly as possible. When you submit a request, you should receive an
email verifying that you request has been received. When your request is approved, you
should also receive an email confirmation. If you have a request that cannot be accommodated
on this website, please contact the master controlled vocabulary moderators:

The master controlled vocabularies are published via a set of XML web services that
can be accessed at: http://his.cuahsi.org/odmcv_1_1/odmcv_1_1.asmx. The methods within this web
service will return the most recent ODM controlled vocabulary terms. The Update Controlled
Vocabulary tool in ODM tools will update your controlled vocabulary tables by comparing
them with the latest information in the master set published through these web services.
