FW: Information on OpenXDS

Hi all.

This is information from Odysseas (please see below) re: the OpenXDS
application. It is a façade; and may be useful to us in our work preparing
for IHE.

Hope this helps. Please do connect with Odysseas directly if there is
interest in employing this technology. He seems to know a lot about it.

Warmest regards,

Derek.

It was good talking to all of you this morning. Here is some information
that is worth reviewing about OpenXDS:

https://www.projects.openhealthtools.org/sf/go/page1069

The architecture document makes it quite clear that they have separated the
portion of the system that deals with the message processing from the
portion of the system that deals with actually persisting the metadata and
data. There is also a piece of the system that interacts with the EMPI to
keep track of patient identifiers. You can either use an embedded simple
EMPI for this purpose or you can integrate it with OpenEMPI and this is a
configuration option during deployment of the system.

There are some installation instructions here:

https://www.projects.openhealthtools.org/sf/go/page1120

and all of this content is accessible from the main page here:

https://www.projects.openhealthtools.org/sf/go/page1046

If you have any questions, please let me know and I'll try to help.

Best regards,
Odysseas

Hi Derek,

Thanks for this, this makes a lot more sense now! So, it seems that there is a separate part of the OpenXDS server that handles a few of the IHE profiles. This would be useful to explore at some stage to gauge its usefulness for this project. With the way that Mule works and how the OpenHIM is setup, I’d imagine that we would only be able to use specific portions of that façade. Ie. the communication should rather take place using Mule constructs.

Due to the time constraints I’d say that we continue down the path we know rather than explore the façade approach at this point.

Cheers,

Ryan
