Eclipse OHF Conformance Questions

-- Eclipse OHF conformance questions --

• What are topics good for? Should a conformance editor try to build these from the information found elsewhere in the schema?
• How would you use a use case? Is there any examples of a usefully populated use case?
• How do interaction models get stored in the document? Do they? Should the conformance profile editor support them?
  • Should it support them: definitely. We need to be able to express dynamic constraints as well as static model constraints.
• "A static definition is compliant in all aspects with the HL7 defined message it profiles". Presumably this should be "should" not "is". Is this something that can be checked?
• does "" count as content for required content? For RE?
• does "" count as content for the presence of a segment?
• the condition predicate - let's be more precise about it. let's allow flags in the xml for the kind of language used to build the rule
• Annotations - what kind of formatting markup is allowed?
• how do you use regex to specify inter-element relationships?
• what is the root context when an XPath constraint or element relationship is evaluated?
• how does OCL work? Can I bring in the HL7Connect implementation?
• the format allows for segment groups, but the narrative doesn't discuss this
• There's a number of issues in the schema around the changes introduced in v2.6
• if a message contains content not described by the conformance profile, is the message in violation of the conformance profile?
• what about Z segments?
