System and method for exchanging clinical data

A system for exchanging clinical data, comprising:

• a processor;
• a first repository, which stores documents for a first party in a clinical trial, receives first repository configuration information via a network, and determines if there is a predetermined change in the first repository based on the first repository configuration information, wherein the first repository configuration information comprises a connection to a second repository, a scope of capacity of the first repository, and a rule set of the first repository, wherein the rule set of the first repository defines data to be transferred between the first and second repositories, the scope of capacity of the first repository defines that the first repository stores data for a first party, and wherein the first repository configuration information is received on a first user interface;
• a second repository, which stores documents for a second party in the clinical trial, and receives second repository configuration information via the network, wherein the second repository configuration information comprises a connection to the first repository, a scope of capacity of the second repository, and a rule set of the second repository, wherein the rule set of the second repository defines data to be transferred between the first and second repositories, wherein the scope of capacity of the second repository defines that the second repository stores data for a second party, and wherein the second repository configuration information is received on a second user interface, wherein the first user interface is different from the second user interface;
• a clinical data exchange controller in a server in a content management system for copying the predetermined change to the second repository when there is the predetermined change in the first repository, receiving a request for transferring a first document to the second repository, determining if the first document needs to be transferred to the second repository according to the rule set of the first repository, and transferring the first document to the second repository when the rule set of the first repository requires such a transfer, wherein the transferring the first document between the first and second repositories includes mapping, via a common model, a first document type in the first repository to a second document type in the second repository.
