Jump to navigation Jump to search

The purpose of this page is to begin and maintain a list of requirements for any HL7 terminology management tool.

Assumptions and constraints

These are high level requirements that influence all functional and non-functional requirements.

  • Vocabulary elements can be exported in a format that can be transformed bidirectionally and in a lossless way into the coremif format.
  • Value sets will be consistent with the principles defined by the Value Set Definition (VSD) project.

Versioning

  • Vocabulary artifacts (code systems and value sets) are versionable entities, and as such any solution must be able to support versioning of code systems and value sets.

Non-Functional Requirements

  • Accessibility - Needs to be accessible to people involved in vocabulary creation and maintenance
  • Availability - Available 24x7 outside of published maintenance events
  • Backup - System allows for standard backup and recovery, failover is not required. Create and restore a backup of the s/w and content
  • Documentation - Tool will have adequate user documentation that is updated with new releases.
  • Support for varying concept models for both HL7 internal and external vocabularies.

Interoperability - the tool

  • Response time - RelatiVe response time. Real time response for basic navigation and search, recognizing that generating value set expansions can be time consuming.
  • Security - The tools allows for user authentication
