Artifact Versioning

The following is meant to form the basis of discussion prior to a formal statement of the policies of the Publishing Work Group. With review and debate the statements below will be confirmed, ratified as policies of Publishing and approved by the TSC. At that time this statement will be removed.

The Artifact Version progresses linearly

The version of an artifact is incremented in a single direction. Each new version will be a number greater than the previous version.

  • You can go from 02 to 03
  • You cannot go from 04 to 03

The Artifact Version does not necessarily advance in a set increment

The version of an artifact does not necessarily need to advance only by one.

  • You can go from 02 to 05 (but then you can never publish a version 03 or 04)


The Artifact Version is 2 digits

This rule is determined by the naming conventions of HL7 V3 artifacts

  • You can have version of 01 or 10 or 34
  • You cannot have a version of 1 or 142

The Artifact Version is assigned with via the publication of an artifact within a Normative Edition
