Artifacts include support for different formats of models, both static and dynamic. Artifact management also includes the ability to manage content and clinical forms. A service specification is made up of service metadata, artifacts and the metadata supporting these artifacts. Artifact management primarily deals with managing artifact lifecycle and authoring of artifact metadata.

Artifacts

Static Models

Static models include a variety of models with different representations. Static models include but are not limited to:

• XML Schemas
• UML/HL7 Models, including domain models like BRIDG and LS-DAM
• OWL
• Meta Models
• Transforms
• Model Constraints, like OCL
• Data Types

Behavioral Models

In the context of this paper, behavioral dynamic models capture the behavior of services. Behavior of services provides an unambiguous definition of the service constraints, capabilities, dependencies and interactions. The metadata and grammar required to realize service behavior is called behavioral semantics. Behavioral semantics provide a mechanism for better service discovery and enforcing the constraints at design and runtime.

...

• HL7 SAIF behavioral model (which provides a formal model and grammar for service contracts)
• Orchestrations and Workflows
• Business Rules

Content

Content includes all unstructured text and other forms of content that make up a service specification. Examples include storyboards, and scope. Content is an integral part of service specification, and content is leveraged across the enterprise for documentation and communicaitons. Content includes:

• Service specification content, primarily unstructured text
• Images and other representations of static content

Forms

Forms include both ODM and CDA documents. This includes all aspects of the document including the style, definitions and semantics.

• Form Templates
• Form Definitions

Specification Content
