Back to [[Structured Document Template Design Pilot]]

== Overview ==

The goal of this pilot is to demonstrate how the [https://mdht.projects.openhealthtools.org Model-Driven Health Tools (MDHT)] [https://mdht.projects.openhealthtools.org/cda CDA Tools project] can be used to design and implement CDA templates. This includes the generation of a published implementation guide and an EMF-based Java runtime API that supports programmatic production, consumption, and validation of CDA XML instances.

== Assumptions ==


== Project Execution Phase ==

=== Use CDA Tools to design CDA templates for example use case ===
We will create all of the templates required by the template tool pilot use case. This includes creating classes for each template and specifying all conformance rules using property redefinitions, directed associations, and directly using OCL expressions (if necessary).


== Project Delivery Phase ==

=== Generate published implementation guide in DITA format ===
By producing the DITA format, we can target multiple publication formats such as XHTML, Eclipse Help, and PDF.

=== Generate Java-based Runtime API ===
The tmeplate model will be transformed and ultimately imported into EMF. The EMF model will be used to produce Java source code.
