    • Vocab Telcon: Discussion – Table 396 issue:-HL7 v2.x table 396 is the table of tables. One of the changes in 2.6 was to make content extensible without requiring a re-ballot. Need to document the process of how we put new entries, or update entries to table 396. Current process is to submit a V2.x proposal through the HL7 website.-Proposed solution is that every time a terminology is registered in the OID it would automatically go into Table 396 I V2.x. Vote taken and passed.-The content of tables is only available through the ballot, the document can be updated but there is no place online that you can look it up. Same problem of how to

== ITEM: 179 == Opened: 12-Jan-05 Old Item: 946

Explore Single set of rules for sending Attachments with v3 messages and documents
  • 12-Jan-05 , INM Chairs , Open , Vocab
    • Added by Larson following receipt of email from Bob Dolin on as follows: “We’ve created two new MIME types for use with structured documents that we’d like to officially register with INM. The first (text/x-hl7-text+xml) is used to constrain Act.text. The second (text/x-hl7-title+xml) is used to constrain Act.title, which was changed from ST to ED datatype at the last harmonization meeting. Each of these types are undergoing ballot - the former is part of CDA and SPL, the latter is part of SPL. Can you let me know how to proceed?.”

Later conversation with Bob revealed these 2 new MIME types were heard and approved in RIM Harmonization. What do we do with them now? Is this a v3 or a v2 issue or both? Should these items be added to v2 t Imported Table 0834 “MIME Types” for use in component 3 “Type of Data” in the RP Reference Pointer data type? If so, it would be an HL7 added value to an external table. Or, should it be added to External Table 0291 “Subtype of Referenced Data” as an HL7 enhancement. It would live there alongside our other HL7 enhancement

ITEM: 1025

Prefaces at Topic Level, Pubs issue, need to take this up with Pubs. Results from MCCI R2 C1 ballot rec. item 134.

  • 20051114, Tony Julian, open
    • Propose to pubs to have preface at the topic level, instead of just having a preface at the domain level. If one has a varied range of Topics it makes no sense to have all preface comments at the domain level.
  • 20060113 Tony Julian, open, pubs
    • 20060113 WGM pubs will consider. Supported by pharmacy.

ITEM: 1027

Opened: 20051129

Fix Escape Character reference to v2 ED data type, discovered issue, from e-mail from Alberto Sáez Torres

  • 20051129, Tony Julian, New
    • Page 2-13 , in Figure 2-1. "Delimiter values" The paragraph: "Escape character for use with any field represented by an ST, TX or FT data type, or for use with the data (fourth) component of the ED data type." Should say (in my opinion) "?or for use with the data (fifth) component of the ED data type"
  • 20051129, Tony Julian, V2
    • Research indicates that this has been wrong since the figure was included. I suggest that this is a technical correction - From Substantivity Guide: Technical corrections that implement the original intent of the committee. For example, if a committee meant to add an attribute to one segment, and it was mistakenly added to another; this can be fixed.
    • E-mail sent to INM and ARB lists to solicit opinion

ITEM: 1028

Opened: 20051129

Change v2 maximum length to be non-normative, suggested by an e-mail from Alberto Sáez Torres

  • 20051129, Tony Julian, New

In Chapter 2.5.3.2 "The maximum length is not of conceptual importance in the abstract message or the HL7 coding rules. The length of a field is normative." Should say "..The length of a field is not normative." (In my opinion)

  • 20051129: email response from J Larson:
    • I believe it would be a substantive change to insert the word NOT since the ARB has ruled that length changes are substantive. As we know, not everyone has agreed with this ruling, but it is the one we need to live with.
  • 20051129, Tony Julian, V2
    • Research indicates that the text 'The length of a field is normative' has been in the standard since 2.3. I will communicate with "Older" members of INM/CQ to gather their understanding.
    • E-mail sent to INM and ARB lists to solicit opinion.
  • 20060104: Joann Larson (an older member of InM)
    • I would say that this is a moot point at present because InM approved proposal #435 regarding the removal of "maximum length" from the chapters at the San Diego WGM 20050916 by a vote of 6-0-1. Length will be addressed in chapter 2B and in implementation specs. In v.7 we will be balloting this proposed change.

ITEM: 1029

Opened 20051129 from e-mail from Alberto Sáez Torres

In the Data Type Chapter, the components table for XTN (Extended Telecommunication Number) doesn't correspond with the text description. Page 2-239.

  • 20051129, Doug Pratt, V2
  • 20060104: J Larson. The component table and narrative are correct in v.6. There was a formating/numbering problem in v2.5. Component 5 should have been "Country", but it inadvertently got embedded in the note for compoent 4. Is this ready to be closed or should we consider noting an erratum for v2.5? Email sent to A Torres.

ITEM: 1030

Opened: 20051129

Change cardinality of MSG Data Type in v2.XML specification, discovered item, from e-mail from Alberto Sáez Torres

  • 20051129, Tony Julian, New
    • In the MSG data type description (message type, used in MSH-9) it is said that all the components (message code, message trigger, message sctructure) are required, but the schema marks all of them as optional.

So, the schema should be change from: 

<xsd:complexType name="MSG">
 <xsd:sequence>
   <xsd:element ref="MSG.1" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/>
   <xsd:element ref="MSG.2" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/>
   <xsd:element ref="MSG.3" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/>
 </xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>

To : 

<xsd:complexType name="MSG">
 <xsd:sequence>
   <xsd:element ref="MSG.1" >
   <xsd:element ref="MSG.2" />
   <xsd:element ref="MSG.3" />
 </xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
  • 20051129, Tony Julian, V2
    • pending further information
  • 20051129, Alberto Sáez Torres
    • Actually, the MSG-data type is described in section 2.A.44 of Chapter 2A, Page 2-175, but the error is located in the XSD and DTD files for Version 2.5. The XSD affected file is “datatypes.xsd” and the DTD file is “datatypes.dtd”. This is the reason why I’ve CC-ed this message to the XML list.
    • (According to the MSG data type, the line from datatype.dtd): <!ENTITY % MSG "(MSG.1?,MSG.2?,MSG.3?)"> Should be changed (in my opinion) to <!ENTITY % MSG "(MSG.1,MSG.2,MSG.3)">

ITEM: 1031

ITEM: 1035

Opened: 20060109

Can a new use-case (although in scope of the domain) be brought forward in the form of a line-item, and be grounds for a negative line-item ? Or should a proposal be brought forward ? (Procedural)

  • 20060109, Joann Larson, new
    • 20060109 WGM Discussion: PIC Issue ? Does this depend on the level of the ballot being commented ? Risk that the cycle goes on forever. Acceptable to make a use-case suggestion (for things that are missing, use-cases that are not covered) as an affirmative line-item.

  • 20060313, Larson: email sent to Miroslav as follows: The current Publishing Facilitator's Guide can be found on the v3 Ballot site under Background Documents.

The section of the ATS that is not consistent with the PFG is the Preface. See section 9.3.

The Preface is to be "numbered" and labeled as follows: i. Notes to Readers ii. Acknowledgements iii. Changes From Previous Release

The Overview requirements appear to have gotten muddled since I wrote this ballot comment last summer. The PFG shows an inconsistency between section 9.4 and the model in section 1 and 1.1. When I questioned Helen Stevens about the correct format last summer, she gave me the model as it appears in 1 and 1.1. Given the current discrepancy I believe it is better to not make any format change to the Overview until the PFG stabilizes.

In short, this line item should probably be disposed of as Persuasive with Mod. Fix the Preface, but leave the Overview alone until such time as there is a clear statement of proper format.

  • 20060324: larson: email sent to Miroslav stating: The Publishing Facilitator's Guide has been updated so that the instructions on how to format the Overview section are clear and consistent. There is now a section 9.4.1 which reads as follows:

"The Overview’s first sub-section SHALL be entitled “Introduction and Scope” a this section SHALL contain a description of the Document at a minimum sufficient for a person unfamiliar with the work to understand the document’s business, scope and relationship with HL7. The Introduction and Scope section SHALL also explain the need for a Specification."

The Publishing Facilitator's Guide is in ballot in the May 2006 ballot cycle as an informative document. Pubs would appreciate any feedback you might have if you care to comment on it.

Find out the San Antonio Hotel has wireless in meeting rooms

  • 20060113 co-chairs, new, organizational
    • 20060113 WGM: Find out the Hotel has wireless in meeting rooms – check with Lillian and hotel if need be.
    • 20060325 Rene: the hotel has wireless in the sleeping rooms, but uses a different network for the meeting rooms. There is no guarantee that one will be able to pick up the sleeping room network in the meeting rooms. HQ has organized wireless access in the main plenary session meeting room. I have asked HQ what it would cost to add 1 meeting room, and indicated that we realize it would not be paid by HL7. The TSC list has been notified of the situation, which will hopefully lead to a motion by the TSC that they see internet access in the meeting rooms as an absolute requirement for future WGMs.
