2015May core #1461 - More structured approach to conformance resource

XMLWordPrintableJSON

    • Type: Change Request
    • Resolution: Persuasive with Modification
    • Priority: Medium
    • FHIR Core (FHIR)
    • DSTU1 [deprecated]
    • FHIR Infrastructure
    • CapabilityStatement (Conformance)
    • Hide

      This was caused by confusion over the definition of the Conformance resource. Resolve the confusion by change the description of the Conformance resource to:
      "A conformance statement is a set of capabilities of a FHIR Server that mayb used as
      * a statement of actual server functionality
      * a statement of required or desired server implementation"

      Also, clarify in a new paragraph following that, how the conformance resource fits into the overall conformance process, with reference to the conformance-rules page. and the specifiers page conformance section (see task #7787)

      Comment:

      Conformance resource - the existing description seems to be developed ad-hoc. I would highly recommend a more structured and standards-based approach, such as the adoption of the different type of conformance points, namely interworking, programatic, perceptual and interchange reference points, as defined in the ISO/ITU-T standard, RM-ODP (ITU-T X.902 | ISO/IEC 10746-2), clause 15
