As with DXF format,current module has only one model object to map with DHIS2 which is DataElement. With new ADX format, we need more objects for mapping as below

- DataElement
- DataSet
- Categories
- CategoryCombo

Definition of those in ADX is explained with examples in [this link](https://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/developer/html/ch01s12.html)

We just need object with basic attributes such as: id, name, code and other audit attributes.

Please add if I missed anything.

Yes @vietnguyen,

Just as a verification, categories == categoryOptions??. If yes, I can’t think of anything else that you missed.

@mauryaHi Sri,

Yes you are correct, Categories == categoryOptions.

I think this is all we need. I have updated the wiki page and also jira ticket with more details. Need some one to take this task.

Thanks

I’m afraid we all tied up with our projects. Do you think Jembi team can take those tasks ?
