===Overview===
 
 
 
====What we are responsible for====
 
(description is Work In Process - see [[Tools List discussion]])
 
From Tooling Work Group Web Page [http://www.hl7.org/Special/committees/v3toolstaskforce/overview.cfm Overview] - Work Products and Contributions to HL7 Processes:
 
:The Tooling Work Group, will make recommendations to the HL7 Board and Technical Steering Committee regarding tools support for the HL7 standards.
 
:This work group manages the policies and processes that accomplish the functions of requirements management, configuration management, and deployment management of HL7 developed, endorsed, or fostered tools. This includes mechanisms for testing, evaluating, managing releases, funding, and harmonizing tools work from independent sources.
 
:For HL7-owned technology and support, this work group will provide guidance for architecture and technical standards, configuration, development scheduling, technical support and infrastructure.
 
:Liaises with tool vendors providing software for HL7 member's use and manages license allocation.
 
:This work group will provide a forum for tools input and questions from the HL7 membership.
 
:This work group will provide tools training and documentation (in cooperation with the Education Work Group).
 
 
 
Tooling Work Group’s responsibility covers tools developed by and for HL7, as well as those tools that HL7 has fostered the development of either by direct solicitation, or by collaboration with HL7-specific projects outside of the organization. It is expected that the Tooling Work Group will provide a more precise framework and guidelines for licensing future HL7 tools.
 
:Rene: this excludes any work done by this WG to review, categorize, or recommend the use of any public domain HL7-oriented tools that haven't been created under the (partial) responsibility of HL7 International. The group may wish to add specific wording to public domain HL7-specific tools created by third parties (e.g. HAPI, probably the most often used HL7 toolkit, or MARC-HI Everest).
 
 
 
       
 
 
====How we work:====
 
(description is Work In Process - see [[Update the Tooling Work Group wiki page]])
 
'''Tooling Work Group Mission:'''
 
*''The Tooling Work Group supports the HL7 mission by overseeing the tools that facilitate the development, adoption and use of HL7 standards, according to the requirements of the HL7 Board and membership needs.''
 
 
*The Tooling Work Group supports the HL7 Board by recommending priorities for expending HL7 resources on tooling activities. Tooling activities involve both paid resources as staff or contracted individuals working on funded projects.  All Tooling projects require approval of a Project Scope Statement that is approved by the Tooling Work Group, The Technology and Services Support Steering Division, the HL7 Chief Technology Officer, and for those involving HL7 budget expenditures, the HL7 Board.  Contracted resources are acquired through an open process with projects announced on the contracts@lists.hl7.org listserve.  Tools provided by volunteers are made available on a "as is" basis but toolsmiths are encouraged to provide appropriate user and system documentation. 
 
 
HL7 is a charter member of Open Health Tools (OHT), an open source consortium and many of the emerging tools are OHT projects.
 
 
 
{{:Tooling Liaisons}}
 
 
Named individuals are expected to provide two-way communication to their respective groups and help the Tooling Work Group keep up with the varying schedules, priorities, interests and issues so that recommendations made to the HL7 Board are consensus recommendations of the entire HL7 community.
 
 
*liaison responsibilities with OHT, SMD, MDHT, IHTSDO WB
 
 
 
{{:Toolsmiths}}
 
 
 
====How you can participate: ====
 
(description is Work In Process)
 
Requests for new tools should come from a Work Group's Tooling Liaison, if they have one, or from a Work Group's co-chair (if no liaison has been named). <br/>
 
Requests for new tools should be added to the [[Tooling Requests]] wiki page<br/>
 
 
Requests for enhancements to an existing tool should be added to that tool's GForge tracker. The standard GForge project for each tool should have "Bugs", "Support Requests", and "Feature Requests" trackers.
