Implementation Tools are software toolkits that can be used by software developers to support/implement HL7's standards.
Note: most tools within HL7 cater to 'standards creators', i.e. tools that support the standards development process. See e.g. HL7 Tooling FAQs and HL7.org toolkit page.
The list below contains HL7-sponsored or HL7-developed tools, as well as open source, public domain, or commercial tools. By default all listed tools are open source and public domain. Commercial tools are (and: SHALL be) explicitely identified as such.
Tool Selection Criteria
If there are multiple options for a certain type of tool, the following list should aid HL7/RIMBAA in selecting the most appropriate tool:
- Offers support
- Up to date documentation
- Continued development, follow developments within HL7 (with a reasonable time lag)
- Proven usage (at least 1, or x, sites)
- Openness, developed for re-use as a component in a different "stack", not be tied into one particular solution stack
- No prohibitive licensing small-print
HL7 version 3
Implementation tools that RIMBAA has identified include the ones below, sorted by the type of audience/task they support:
Tools that directly suport the software development process:
- MIF based class/code generators (e.g. MDHT, Everest, JavaSIG)
- XML-Oriented: MIF based schema (e.g. v3Generator) and schematron generator
- MIF to model transformations (e.g. UML);
- MIF based database schema generator (e.g. MGRIDcommercial?))
- MIF based UI generators
- ISO Datatypes library
- CTS products (e.g. Apelon, LexGRID, Healthlanguagecommercial)
- Mapping tools (e.g. Open Mapping Software)
- RIM Based Persistence Layer (inclusive of OO-API, as a base platform for application development) (e.g. JavaSIG, MGRIDcommercial, Oracle HTBcommercial)
- Subtype: ORM layer to abstract the data types (e.g. an enhanced Hibernate)
Tools that support software developers:
- Set of testcases/examples, to test ones code. Or test framework such as IHE Gazelle.
- Model Based Testing tools (e.g. Instance Editor, MDHT)
- Code Documentation Generators
- (Not a tool: MIF documentation, currently lacking)
Tools that are used by analysts/providers:
- Model (static/dynamic/UIs/..) Driven application generation tools (e.g. PHI Technology)
- Model Driven documentation generators (e.g. PHI technology)
- MIF based UI designers
HL7 version 2
Implementation tools/toolkits:
- HAPI, nHAPI
Tools that support implementation
- Message Workbench (MWB)
