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)">

Opened: 20060313

Send pubs documentation structure (sequence of sections) to Miroslav Koncar, for restructuring of the ATS document

• 20060313, Joann Larson, new
• 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.

• 20060509: SAT WGM On agenda.

  • Confusion on point: security is to mitigate risk, need use case. InM has not supplied use case but is pending questionnaire from Security. Three documents in development: (1)NEMA SPC white paper on risk management related to medical devices; (2) IHE ITI planning committee white paper on an overall structure for security requirements (what are the risk analysis steps, NIST & ISO have a catalog of threats); and (3) standard proposed to ISO TC215 WG4 on evaluation of risks relative to software objects.
  • Questionnaire will be based upon these works … what threatens you, what will happen, economic impact (etc). Allows identifying risks and evaluating mitigation options. Should not be how to implement a technology, should be how to mitigate a threat.
  • What if there is a jurisdictional requirement to implement digital signature. Issue is why, but how to implement the technology. [Glenn Marshall] Go to w3c and use the digital signature recommendation as is.
  • discussion of implication of a signature re liability, strength, level of guarantee. Administrative infrastructure is required in obtaining the certificate … which is outside the scope of this committee and the standard.

Determine what kind/type of vocab used within the datatype specs should be subject to harmonization and/or ballot time fixing.

• 20060508, new, Grahame, Abstract Data Types
  • There have been DT proposals (+vocab used within DT) during harmonization. Normative DT spec, methodology changes lead to new releases of DT spec. Changes to vocab may need to be more flexible (e.g. done at harmonization, be applicable to last normative spec) than structural DT changes. Only certain vocabs, e.g. compression method, UCUM units, mediatype, currency. Name part type is NOT in this category and is fixed at ballot time.

Is use of ID/IDRef model derived?

• 20060619, Joseph Waller, new, XML ITS?
  • ask Lloyd to elaborate on how using ID/IDRef – model derived or not? and if so (or not) how does this end up in schema?.
  • 20060828, Rene: open. XML SIG has studied the use of XML ID/IDREF for use by the ITS to minimize the size of messages on the wire. Based on the outcome of that they will move the motion during teh upcoming WGM that ID/IDREF can't bse used within the ITS (because of technical implementation reasons as will be stated in the motion). Joseph's question appears to be wider in scope however, he wants to know if the samentic concept of ID/IDREF exists within the RIM, much as the concept of a mixed content datatype also exists within the abstract datatype specification.

ask ARB about normative interactions currently explicitly marked as examples, non implementable now being marked implementable

• 20060619, Tony Julian, new, shared messages
  • 20060828, Rene: to add some detail: originally the shared messages domain was designated to define re-usable Message Types (payloads) but not Interactions. Interactions, Application Roles and Trigger Events were smetimes added to illustrate the use of the Message Types. The artefacts were designated (in textual form) as being "examples, non implementable". Because they were part of the ballot, their status has progressed to normative. Nowadays the Shared Messages domain also defines re-usable Interactions. We now would like to turn some of the old "Example" interactions into "real, implementable" interactions. Changing the deignation may be a substantive change.

Transition to 1 single query control act wrapper stub,

• 20060723, new, ControlAct domains
  • INM is encouraging committees to only define queries that start with QueryByParameter. It is on INMs to-do list to request that committees remodel their queries so we can deprecate the query wrapper based on parameterList. There are only a few queries that use the parameterList stub. Existing query definition based on the paremeterList stub (even if normative) can be redefined to start with queryByParameter. The instance on the wire nor the abstract composite model will change if you do so, so there are no backwards compatibility issues.
  • Need to a) state the above in a motion, b) communicate this to the other committees, especially those that use the parameterList stub
  • See Query Stub for details.
