Numerous tools define metamodels to describe the requirements included in CDA specifications, the most recent and standardized one is the HL7 Templates Standard.The Templates Design resulting of this standard allow distributing the CDA specification in a formal way.One application of this normalization is the validation of CDA documents.IHE-Europe/Gazelle team developed already a methodology named Gazelle ObjectsChecker in order to generate model-based validation of XML requirements, including HL7 CDA standard.The aim of this paper is to describe the way the requirements from HL7 Templates Standard are imported on Gazelle ObjectsChecker, and the benefit of such methodology for CDA implementation guides and for CDA documents validation.
