+  License) and stylesheets (Lex Jansen, MIT License) are stated in

-* `inst/COPYRIGHTS` lists the source, copyright holder and licence of every bundled file and data table, including the standards metadata tables added in this version.
+* Resubmission: the Description explains every acronym and links the CDISC
+  standards, and the attach test no longer installs the package (it runs
+  against the installed copy under `R CMD check` and skips from a source
+  tree), so pkgbuild leaves Suggests.

+## Resubmission
+
+This is a resubmission of cdiscdata 0.2.0, a new package. In this version I
+have addressed each of the reviewer's comments:
+
+* **Acronyms in the Description.** Every acronym is now explained where it
+  first appears: CDISC (Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium), CT
+  (Controlled Terminology), SDTM (Study Data Tabulation Model), ADaM
+  (Analysis Data Model), SDTMIG (SDTM Implementation Guide), SENDIG
+  (Standard for Exchange of Nonclinical Data Implementation Guide), ADaMIG
+  (ADaM Implementation Guide), CDASH (Clinical Data Acquisition Standards
+  Harmonization), QRS (Questionnaires, Ratings, and Scales), XML (Extensible
+  Markup Language), XSD (XML Schema Definition), and XSLT (Extensible
+  Stylesheet Language Transformations).
+
+* **References.** The package provides reference data from the CDISC
+  standards with functions to retrieve it; it implements no published
+  method, so there is no method reference to cite. The Description now links
+  the CDISC standards in angle brackets, <https://www.cdisc.org/standards>.
+
+* **Installing packages.** No function, example, or vignette installs a
+  package. The one installation was in a test
+  (tests/testthat/test-attach.R), which, when the tests ran from a source
+  tree, built the package and installed it into a temporary library; that
+  test was already skipped on CRAN. It no longer installs anything: it runs
+  only against the installed copy that R CMD check provides and skips
+  otherwise. pkgbuild, which only that test used, is removed from Suggests.
+
+Since the first submission, the package also gained the variable metadata of
+the remaining CDISC implementation guides, the CDASH model and
+implementation guide, and the QRS supplements (see NEWS.md); the version
+number is unchanged because 0.2.0 has not been released.
+
 ## R CMD check results
 
-0 errors | 0 warnings | 0 notes

+* This is a new submission.
 
-## Data sources
+## Notes on the submission
 
-All CT data is sourced from the NCI EVS FTP site (public domain, no license
-restrictions). XSD schemas and XSLT stylesheets are from the CDISC
-DataExchange-DefineXML GitHub repository (Apache License 2.0, included with
-attribution in inst/extdata/).
+* The package contains data (plus accessor functions) and has no runtime
+  dependencies.
+* Bundled third-party files are listed with their copyright holders and
+  licenses in inst/COPYRIGHTS and in Authors@R: the Define-XML schema files
+  (CDISC, MIT License) and stylesheets (Lex Jansen, MIT License). The CDISC
+  Controlled Terminology data is published by the NCI Enterprise Vocabulary
+  Services as a public-domain work of the US Government. The variable
+  metadata of the CDISC standards carries only names, labels, types, and
+  similar fields, not the standards' text.
+* The words flagged by the spell check in DESCRIPTION (ADaM, ADaMIG, CDASH,
+  CDISC, QRS, SDTM, SDTMIG, SENDIG, XSD, XSLT, pharmaverse) are standards
+  names and acronyms, each explained in the Description.
