Standard Version 2 |
In this section, you will learn about the XML Encoding Syntax for HL7 Version 2 (June 4, 2003 Release). For this mode it is necessary to define the segment grammars of the messages you wish to translate. The XML output conforms to the segment grammar and the Ignore segments not in grammar option will be applied in all cases. As such, the message definition and its associated segment grammar must be defined in order to produce proper XML output.

If you want to convert an HL7 message into XML only, which does not conform to your segment grammar, consider using the Expanded XML Format. If you require XML that conforms to your segment grammar, either Standard Version 2 or Full Tree Validation can be used. Use the Import Unrecognized Segments window to import the standard HL7 message definitions. After a message is loaded, additional Z-segments can be defined and added to the messages. The resulting message definition file can then be loaded by a Chameleon engine instance to perform the translation. | ||
