Casting metadata for REDCap database creation and handling of
castellated data using repeated instruments and longitudinal projects in
'REDCap'. Keeps a focused data export approach, by allowing to only export
required data from the database. Also for casting new REDCap databases based
on datasets from other sources.

'REDCap' (Research Electronic Data Capture) is a secure, web-based software
platform designed to support data capture for research studies, providing
1) an intuitive interface for validated data capture; 2) audit trails for
tracking data manipulation and export procedures; 3) automated export
procedures for seamless data downloads to common statistical packages; and
4) procedures for data integration and interoperability with external
sources (Harris et al (2009) <doi:10.1016/j.jbi.2008.08.010>;
Harris et al (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.jbi.2019.103208>).
