May I suggest (the large) RIM model for HL7 v3. It's XML.
HL7's RIM v3.0 is a start but contary to some views it is not the answer
to everything; there is much that can be harmonised to include much more
of the conceptual content needed. The CCR, which is the use of XML for a
certain part of the needs, can have utility for part of the system
behavior needed and Nancy's comment that it will be available with Vista
Office is most encouraging but it also comes with an evolutionary
trajectory that must be based on commonly needed capabilities. The
Relationship of these capabilities to those needed frome the Zachman
frameork peprspectiev still needs considerable work; there is reason to
hope that RIM 3.0 can be related to this broader perspective.

It may not be a simple implementation of what you're looking for but it
is a standard and more than likely has too much. I wish I had a quick
little XML sample to paste in but I couldn't dig up anything quickly.
(I suggest a search of the site).

Subject: Re: [Hardhats-members] XML data export
OK. So it would be most helpful to do one's XML
export using tags that everyone agrees on. But this
is apparently still an evolving area, where consensus
has not been reached.
So in the mean time, I think I will try to design a my
XML export system such that the end user can choose to
simply use the data labels for individual fields, or
optionally specify different XML tags.

Everybody does seem to be getting. I just went to
OMG to download the

they are talking about
their involvement with EHR standards, too. Of

in addition to the RIM and CDA has an EHR-S effort
underway. I know
about CCR, but it's only a small part of what ASTM
is doing. I've been
looking at the OpenEHR web site, but am still trying
to digest it at
see if I can get a handle on what is genuinely new
about archetypes. I
think the language is a bit confusing, because in
mathematical logic,
ontologies typically refer to what is left if you
omit contingent
information from your model (actually a model is
basically an ontology
+ contingent information).

fit into the
"business

Is the DVA now using a Supermarket Model and
worrying about

will tell.

Subject: [Hardhats-members] XML data export
One of my goals for my site has been the
ability to
get data back out of VistA in a painless
manner. For
me this means XML. And I am rapidly nearing
the
point
where I plan on finishing this project.
I have a couple of approaches I could take,
and I'd
like input from the list
1. Write a custom program that dumps progress
notes
(currently the only unique data being stored
in our
VistA) in XML format. I think I could very
easily
do
this.
2. Writing an extension to fileman's data
export
abilities, to include an option for XML.
This would
be the better option in the long run, but
probably
would be a good deal more difficult for me.
I would
need to fully understand the current system
to
decide
how best to integrate. Usha recently posted
about
her
difficulty using the export functions. I
don't
think
anyone responded with an answer.
What do export templates do? What file are
they
stored in?
Has anyone else already done this? Anything
I
should
know before I rush off to reinvent the wheel?
Thanks
Kevin
