EST Tool Inventory

The standards development work of HL7 International is increasingly dependent on tools and resources that help create, publish, maintain and distribute standards. Given new versions and new types of standards that evolve, also the number of tools increases and needs proper governance, maintenance, and management. HL7 International uses also tools and resources for balloting, education, project management and administration for memberships that needs to be accessible by the workgroups. The need for a tool and resource inventory and architecture for a long term governance of the tooling, resources and services assets of the HL7 organization in order to facilitate more efficient and effective standards creation and the support of the organization and its members.

All the HL7 tools and resources, both internal and external developed and managed, are included in the HL7 Tool Catalogue. The URL to this catalogue is [[1]]
