Editing the Registry

If you want to register a new implementation guide, or a new edition of an existing guide, edit fhir-ig-list.json and then make your changes into a pull request. Note that you must make sure that the JSON file is valid, or your changes will be rejected by the build process. JSON validity is checked by a python script in the CI/CD pipelines.

Alternatively, you can email your changes to [email protected]

Documentation of Registry

Each implementation guide gets an entry in the registry. Implementation guides do not need to be published by HL7 - any one can register a published implementation guide - just make a pull request.

Entries for each implementation guide:

• name (required) : human name for the implenentation guide
• npm-name (optional) : the npm-name for all versions of this IG, if they are all the same (e.g. "hl7.fhir.us.core")
• category (required) : arbitrary category for sorting/filtering - check existing ones
• description (required) : a human readable description of the IG contents
• authority (required) : Who is responsible for publishing the IG. All IGs published by HL7 or affiliates are "HL7"
• country (required) :ISO 2 letter code, or "UV" for international
• history : URL to see a list of all published versions of the IG
• ci-build : URL to see the CI build of the IG (just the base URL - do not include the index.html etc)
• editions : optional array containing at least 1 published edition information:
  • name (required) : Human name for published edition
  • ig-version (required) : the stated version of the IG itself
  • fhir-version (required) : array for the the version of the FHIR spec that the IG is based on e.g. ["4.0.0"]
  • package (required) : the npm-name and version for the IG e.g. hl7.fhir.us.core#3.0.1
  • url (required) : where the edition is found (just the base URL - do not include the index.html etc)

Typically, only milestone releases are published, and for a given ballot sequence, only the last of the sequence - the most recent - will be listed.

CI/CD

This project has pipelines hosted on Azure Pipelines.

• JSON Validation Check is automatically run for every Pull Request to check the validity of the fhir-ig-list.json file. [Azure Pipeline] [source]
