Jim, ASTM sells a copy of the full CCR schema. As far as I know, no one, including Google, puts out a schema that only describes their subset of the CCR. This page is also helpful -- http://code.google.com/apis/health/ccrg_reference.html.
Good luck, Rob _____ From: Jim Pharis [mailto:binbr...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, November 20, 2009 2:46 PM To: googlehealthdevelopers@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [Google-Health-API] CCR schema Maybe he has, I'm not exactly sure. Google supports a subset of CCR. That subset should be described somewhere in a schema file so I can convert the feeds from Health. To be more exact, using the schema file that defines the Google's CCR subset, I can convert feeds into Python objects. Without a schema, I don't have a good way to accomplish this and would have to write my own for the entirety of the "Google's subset" Rob has pointed me to an "alternative" schema definition that Microsoft Healthvault provides to their user's to consume feeds (if I understand what he provided correctly). Using Microsoft Healthvaults schema, I might be able to convert Google Health feeds into Python objects. I asked for alternatives because I wondered if Google doesn't provide the schema describing the CCR feeds themselves, where can I get it? The ASTM doesn't seem to be the answer from my research. Please link me if I'm wrong. The ccrstandard homepage doesn't make the location of any schema very obvious if its there. I see that people have asked this question in the past so it seems to be a valid question. In addition Healthvault offers what I'm looking for. So I'm confused concerning this matter and I'm not the only one. Perhaps if Google doesn't feel the need to distribute a schema, an FAQ on solving the problem I'm trying to solve would be most helpful. Thanks to all for your feedback.

ASTM is a standards body that manages the CCR specification. Anything that might be added, or removed, required or prohibited - would come from ASTM, not Google Health. http://www.ccrstandard.com/ 2. I feel (or, at least, some of my EMR, EHR and PHR buddies feel) that Google has expressed that it supports a 'subset' of this schema, and offers a consise explanation of that here; http://code.google.com/apis/health/ccrg_reference.html 3. Unless I am confused about what you are looking for - what you might need to do is start with an XML file that meets the CCR schema requirement. There are several helpful things here - we PDF Forms people have been working hard building ways to make CCR files import and export in and out of PDF forms for quite a while ! http://www.aiim.org/standards/article.aspx?ID=33284 4. Perhaps what is throwing me is this --> "...an alternative CCR schema..." may be this is why you have not seen anyone answer your request ? There is no alternative CCR schema to share.
