-The Clinical Data Dictionary from MSKCC is used to normalize clinical data, and should be followed to make the clinical data comparable between studies. This dictionary provides a definition whether an attribute should be defined on the patient or sample level, as well as provides a name, description and datatype. The data curator can choose to ignore these proposed definitions, but not following this dictionary might make comparing data between studies more difficult. It should however not break any cBioPortal functionality. See GET /api/ at [https://oncotree.mskcc.org/cdd/swagger-ui.html#/](https://oncotree.mskcc.org/cdd/swagger-ui.html#/) for the data dictionary of all known clinical attributes.
