  1. Implementing the XDS Infrastructure Bill Majurski IT Infrastructure National Institute of Standards and Technology

  2. Focus • Repository Actor • Registry Actor • XDS.a • XDS.b

  3. Repository • 2 Styles • File Server • EHR • (3) XDS Interfaces

  4. Repository as a File Server • Accepts files (documents) via Provide and Register transaction • Stores files for later retrieval

  5. EHR as Repository • Exposing content as Documents • Must generate size, hash for document • Must offer Document via URI • Must match size and hash

  6. Repository in XDS.a • SOAP (Register transaction) • HTTP Post • Body is XML • Top level element is SOAP-Envelope • SOAP with Attachments (Provide and Register transaction) • Body is MIME Multipart • First part is SOAP-Envelope • Additional parts are Documents

  7. …Repository in XDS.a Document Retrieve • HTTP GET • Be careful with MIME Type and size returned in HTTP Header • Size and Hash of body MUST match what was sent to Registry

  8. Repository in XDS.b Web Services interface changes • Provide and Register transaction • Namespaces • MTOM • Register transaction • Repository ID • uniqueID

  9. …Repository in XDS.b • Retrieve • Repository ID • uniqueID • Web service • Multiple documents

  10. XDS.a Register transaction • Send updated metadata to Registry • Via SOAP/WS message

  11. XDS.b Register transaction • Send metadata to Registry • Web service interface • ebRS/ebRIM version 3.0 • Can publish both • URI (XDS.a) • repositoryID / uniqueID (XDS.b)

  12. Registry • Functionality • Approaches • Interfaces • Validation

  13. Registry Functionality • Accept and Store metadata • Service Queries for metadata • Hard Parts • Parsing and generating metadata • Very complex XML • Validating metadata • Queries have many parameters

  14. XDS.a vs XDS.b • Details of SOAP wrapper • ebRIM/ebRS 2.1 vs 3.0 • Differentiate .a vs .b requests based on XML namespace • Stored query adds new optional parms, be able to ignore them

  15. Approaches to building a Registry • Start with open source ebXML Registry • Source Forge project ‘ebxmlrr’ • Add XDS functionality • Source Forge project ‘IheOs’ is example • Build on top of favorite database

  16. Registry Issues SQL Query (optional) • Raw SQL • Does assert database schema

  17. Registry - Validation • Metadata is archival content • As a community we must insure that metadata is ‘correct’ • ‘Correct’ • Key structural issues • Interpretable by any consumer • Heart of XDS

  18. Registry - Validation (2) • Registry Adaptor - functionality XDS adds to Registry standard • Specifies validation rules

  19. Testing • Pre-Connectathon (‘MESA’ tests) • Registry/Repository • Command line tools (Java) • Large corpus of test data • Submit (upload) results file to Kudu • Source/Consumer • Test against Public Registry • Connectathon • Use Stored Query to validate XDS tests

  20. Testing Related Profiles • ATNA testing is integrated • Node authentication • Audit log • At Connectathon - may want to be able to log to multiple Audit Repositories • Patient Identity Feed testing • Relies on PIX tests from MIR • XUA • Simple assertions to be tested in Stored Query and Retrieve Document Set • Consistent Time • Not tested as part of XDS

  21. Testing • New tools - easier to use • New tests - add detail

  22. Resources • IHE Wiki articles • http://wiki.ihe.net • Open Source implementation • Source Forge project ‘IheOs’ • Public Registry server • Runs ‘IheOs’ implementation

  23. …Resources • http://ihexds.nist.gov • Home page for XDS testing • Test definitions • FAQ • Documentation • bill@nist.gov
