Talk:ITS Acceptance Factors

Tooling requirement

I agree that the availability of tooling to support an ITS is crucial -- but think that requiring a beta of the tools to be available before INM accepts the workitem is too high a hurdle - I would suggest that the proposed work item should include a plan that will deliver tooling prior to a specification being brought forwards for ballot Charliemccay 09:50, 1 Jun 2006 (CDT)

scope of an ITS

The scope of an ITS should not be limited to representing RIM objects "for transmission in messages" -- so I have removed that part of the criteria Charliemccay 09:50, 1 Jun 2006 (CDT)

The point of the ITS is to represent data so that it may be transmitted. We don't define database models, so the communication aspect has to be emntioned somewhere. 15:10, 1 Jun 2006 (CDT)

requirement for dependance upon non-optional HDF artefacts

This is a hard rule to maintain, since "non-optional" is ill defined in this context. It is possible to create HL7v3 artefacts without defining interactions (they are not needed for CDA documents) - so the definition of the interaction is an "optional" part of the HDF. A reasonable constraint would be that the ITS must be derived from artefacts that are products of the HL7 Development Framework. Charliemccay 09:50, 1 Jun 2006 (CDT)
