V3 PubProcess Content Submission

Preparation of V3 Content for Submission

This "How To" is intended to help those preparing and submitting content for a V3 ballot in the preparation of that material. While the main emphasis is on V3 domain content preparation, much of the guidance provided here is applicable to other V3 submissions as well. This guide assumes you have the basic knowledge needed to prepare and submit content, so the focus is on other considerations that often get missed. These include topics such as checking to ensure the authors and cochairs list is current, ensuring the ballot status is set, and the like.

Presently, this "How To" covers the V3 Publishing Database (the Pub DB), Visio RMIM and XML submissions, graphic images submissions (such as storyboards), and other supplemental content. For additional guidance outside the scope of this "How To", please reference the Publishing Facilitators Guide in the V3 Ballot Web Site.

The HL7 Version 3 Publishing Database

The HL7 Version 3 Publishing Database, aka the pub db, is an access-based tool developed specifically to manage domain content. For specific instructions about installing the pub db tool, please refer to the Installing and Configuring HL7 Tools page Installing_and_Configuring_HL7_Tools. While a pub db may contain references to a number of domains, there will be two main records devoted to the specific domain the pub db expresses content for, the domain introduction page (indicated by a code like PORX_DM999999UV) and the primary domain page (indicated by a code like PORX_DM00000UV).
