Revision as of 22:19, 24 November 2010
Note: during the May2007 WGM the Implementation Committee and the Conformance SIG became a new TC. See draft ImpConf Mission and Charter and Actions for ImpConf merger. The Implementation committee was formally wound up, and the Implementation Conformance TC (ICTC) was formed.
This wiki page is a merger of the content from the two committee's original wiki pages.
The HL7 Implementation committee supports HL7 members and other users of HL7 (draft) standard specifications, with the identification and resolution of issues related to successful implementation thereof.
This Wiki is used to develop an implementation FAQ, as well as a place to maintain and evolve ideas that have been discussed in committee. Formal minutes and agendas will still be maintained and posted to the HL7.org website - with this space providing for a more fluid development of content, where meeting notes will be fleshed out beyond what may heve been said in the meeting, and then used as the basis for other documents. The page history can be used to see what has been added since a particular meeting.

Add metadata attribute to specify the schema for the profile; that is which conformance profile does this schema follow (currently 2.5, 2.6, 2.7). Attach a segment version indicator. Therefore you could have a profile that was for a 2.4 message but have a particular segment that was for a different version |
