The OMOP common data model is used by many institutions for research. It can be used in the i2b2 CRC database for recording patient data. Many institutions prefer this format over the i2b2 CDM because it more readily supports research outside of i2b2. This CDM can also be joined with the i2b2 CDM to allow the patient data to remain in the OMOP CDM tables, while the i2b2 software accesses the patient data through database views.

Postgres / PostgreSQL
relational database management system supported by i2b2 (say "post-gress")
project
an i2b2 project is a specific pairing of a patient database with a metadata database; each i2b2 instance can support multiple projects; a patient database may be paired with multiple metadata databases, but each metadata database may be paired with only one patient database
R
REDCap
Research Electronic Data Capture (projectredcap.org), provided by Vanderbilt University free to NPO’s for conducting research (say "red-cap")

coding standard for medications, part of the UMLS; authored by NLM (say "r-x-norm")
S
SHRINE
Shared Health Research Information NEtwork. (catalyst.harvard.edu/services/shrine/). Application/webapp for querying patient data, a client of i2b2; returns results from multiple institutions (e.g., the ENACT Network). Consists of 3 web apps: Data Steward, Webclient, and Dashboard.
SNOMED
Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine; SNOMED Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT) is a coding standard for all categories of clinical research informatics (say "snow-med")

relational database management system supported by i2b2 (say "sequel server")
SynPUF CDM
Synthetic Public Use Files; a demonstration/development/test patient database consisting of Medicare claim information; not for research use (say "sin-puff")
T
taxonomy
hierarchical arrangement of concepts such that each concept is a "child" of a more inclusive "parent" concept
terminology
a glossary or collection of terms to describe a category or domain; the concepts in the Common Procedural Terminology (CPT) define a terminology for clinical procedures
Tomcat
web server software for hosting Java-based applications; in the world of i2b2, Tomcat is used to host SHRINE applications
tranSMART
software related to i2b2, used for translational studies; incorporates i2b2 CDM, but includes additional databases for genomics, etc. (i2b2.org)
