"Shallow" vs. "Deep" LIMs (Templates)

From HL7Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Background

In discssion 10/29/2005, M&M discussed the issue of defining and supporting both "shallow" and "deep" LIMs. (This occurred after a discussion that templates are represented as a "Local Information Model" - LIM.)

The discussion arose in the context of determining how to asseret the binding to a LIM in a message instance. The issue arises because

  • The element names in a LIM do not need to be the same as the name in the CIM (Message Type) that the LIM element constrains
    • This is asserted in the M&M Template Iplementation Specification
