Frank Oemig, Bernd G M E Blobel · Studies in health technology and informatics · 2011
Working interoperability not only requires harmonized system's architectures, but also the same interpretation of technical specifications in order to guide the development processes. But sometimes a specification has not made the underlying model explicit which would enable a coherent understanding. This paper analyses the structures of the HL7 Version 2.x communication standard's family and presents an UML class diagram for it.
