Talk:HL7 Tooling Challenge

2012-2013 Tooling Challenge The following solution has been selected as the first HL7 TOOLING CHALLENGE

• Produce a UML Profile for MIF Static Models - This is a task so that other modeling tools have a chance to be configured to understand MIF
  • Document a UML Profile for the semantics in the MIF representation of the RIM and other derived models - identifying those concepts that cannot be expressed in UML Profile language to provide to OMG for possible extension of UML
  • Using the resulting UML Profile, adapt Enterprise Architect to express the proper HL7 stereotypes as a proof of concept. An example would be enumerations for the drop down stereotypes for a concept domain, code system or value set. A further example would be a class could be an Act, Entity, or Role
