20、13120:2013(E)IntroductionHealthcare classifications are developed and distributed in a variety of informal formats, such as MS Word, with little consistency in approach between developers. Exchanging data from these systems or attempting to parse the informal text into a more formal structure, say f
21、or publishing purposes, presents many challenges because unwanted mistakes are easily made, and difficult to detect. For example, the accidental deletion of a tab can transform a sibling rubric into a parent. ASCII files with comma separated value fields is another mechanism widely used for storing
22、and transferring data, but as a solution here is limited by insufficient formal structuring capabilities.In the interests of safely exchanging and distributing the content and hierarchical structure of healthcare classification systems, this International Standard presents a simple XML specification
23、, ClaML, for exchange and distribution of healthcare classifications systems. XML is the chosen format for this International Standard as: a) XML provides the necessary structuring elements, and b) there are many readily available XML parsers in existence.This International Standard builds on CEN/TS
24、 14463:2002 in that the primary focus of CEN/TS 14463:2002 was to support electronic data processing. Assessment of CEN/TS 14463:2002 revealed the need to extend the areas for version control and maintenance within the Standard and this was supported by insight from the health informatics community
25、who have been active in the implementation of this International Standard.This International Standard is intended to serve as the core representation from which all publication forms can be derived. It contains information of a depth sufficient to uniquely identify and describe the structure and rel
26、evant element of healthcare classification systems. This International Standard does not intend to prescribe to developers how healthcare classification systems should be structured, nor does it define or explain the meaning of the structuring elements. This International Standard is not meant to be
27、 a direct format for printing or viewing the content of a healthcare classification system. Views and prints are to be derived from this representation by post processing.This International Standard is targeted at:a) developers of first generation2healthcare classification systems, to assist in the
28、construction, maintenance and publication (both in paper and electronic formats) of a particular system;b) developers of information systems to assist in the inclusion of mechanisms for unambiguous loading of healthcare classification systems in their applications;c) organizations responsible for up
29、dating healthcare classification systems;d) institutions receiving updated healthcare classification systems.

30、n purposesThe main purpose of this International Standard is to formally represent the content and hierarchical structure of healthcare classification systems in a markup language for the safe exchange and distribution of data and structure between organizations and dissimilar software products.The
31、scope of healthcare classifications systems covered in this International Standard encompasses terminologies, and is constrained to traditional paper-based systems (like ICD-10) and systems built according to categorial structures and a cross thesaurus (like ICNP).3This International Standard is int
32、ended for representation of healthcare classification systems in which classes have textual definitions, hierarchical ordering, named hierarchical levels (such as “chapter”, “section”), inclusion- and exclusion criteria, and codes. It is not intended to cover any formal representation, either for de
33、finition or composition, of concepts, or for specification of classification rules. Systems with such formal specifications can at best be partially represented using this International Standard, and are hence out of scope.1.2 Topics considered outside the scope of this International standardThis In
34、ternational Standard is not intended to:a) provide a normative syntax on how a healthcare classification system is to be constructed;b) define link types between elements in a healthcare classification system; this is left to the developers of healthcare classification systems;c) provide a represent
35、ation for direct viewing or printing.2 Normative referencesThe following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments)

Many commerci
39、ally available XML tools provide facilities to test the conformance of an XML document with a DTD. Users of this International Standard are encouraged to perform such a test before distributing their healthcare classifications in the format of this International Standard. Alternatively, a conformanc
40、e test using an XML Schema Definition (XSD) can be performed, but an XSD is not part of the current revision of this International Standard.5 ConventionsThe font Courier New is used to denote the DTD of ClaML.Bold text is used to denote elements and attributes defined in the DTD. For names of elemen
41、ts CamelCase is used (i.e. a single string, without spaces, consisting of multiple words, each starting with a capital); for names of attributes lowercase is used.6 Classification markup language6.1 Basis of the syntaxThe basis of the syntax is to represent the content of healthcare classification s
42、ystems. The syntax defined in this International Standard is called Classification Markup Language. It is defined here in the form of a DTD. The reference to this syntax will be headed to ClaML in the remainder of this document. The Version of ClaML described in this document is Version 2.0.0.6.2 Do
