Template:SAIF Generic IM Relationships

Generic Relationships for SAIF Information models.
         Only the content appearing below in black font will appear in the inclusion.
These elements are intended to appear under the following section:

Relationships and traceability

• This model and its attributes must be bound to content from a specific "abstract" data type model formally adopted by HL7.
  • Rationale: The data structures that derive from the RIM draw much of their "type" information from data types assigned to RIM attributes.
• This model and its encoded attributes must be bound to content from a specific Vocabulary Model.
  • Rationale: Over 40 per-cent of RIM-derived attributes carry encoded values. The expected terminology binding for those attributes must be carefully defined.
• This model and its common interfaces (CMET references) must be bound to content from a specific Interface Model.
  • Rationale: References to a "Common Model" in a SAIF Information Model must be drawn from a package (model) of defined interfaces.
• Traceability of model content (perhaps via the "derived from" model) to content expressed in a Conceptual Information Model from the relevant domain or project.
  • Rationale: Provide traceability from project requirements expressed in a Conceptual Data Model to their realization as part of the model(s) in the PIM and PSM layers.
