Definition: The rules, formats and functions for exchanging messages between the components of a messaging system, which in this case are HL7 applications. To reference the Application infrastructure as presented in the ATS, it refers to the application transport protocol used by the Senders and Receivers to exchange messages (e.g. HTTP, FTP, JMS, SMTP etc).
The messaging system usually includes messaging agents, which in this case would be the Sender and Receiver, transfer agents and messaging store, which together would be facilitated by the Messaging Infrastructure Layer in the HL7 Application architecture.
