Getting Started with UML for HL7 Modeling Facilitator's Guide

HL7 Modeling Tools Installation Pre-requisite: RSM 7.5.2 installed Work group co-chairs need apply for a RSM license on behalf of modeling facilitators OHT Modeling Site provides HL7 UML modeling extensions http://oht-modeling.sourceforge.net/updates Polarion Subversive Client for version control allows you to use the HL7 SVN repository: http://www.polarion.org/projects/subversive/download/1.1/update-site/ Optional tools: hyperModel provides XML Schema Generation and Reverse- Engineering http://download.xmlmodeling.com/hyperModel/updates/site.xml If you are having difficulties using the update site, consider downloading the plugin and updating it from a local file: Archived Update Site Direct your Eclipse update manager to this archive file:  Subversive_1.1.9.02-LocalUpdateSite.zip * Archived Update Site  Subversive_1.1.9.02-LocalUpdateSite.md5 * Checksum File

Enabling HL7 Capabilities Select the model folder in “Project Explorer” Select “Properties”  “Capabilities”

Healthcare Extensions UML profiles HDF Profile RIM Profile Select the model folder in “Project Explorer” Select “Properties”  “Profiles” Add “HDF” and “RIM” to the model

HL7 RIM Tools

Specialization of Act as specified in the RIM Clone Editor Act class attributes Allows you to select Attributes of the RIM class (e.g. Act) A specialization of that RIM class and their attributes(e.g. Account, ControlAct, etc.) Select the relevant attributes and “OK” Specialization of Act as specified in the RIM

Examples: Act, Participation, Role

“Healthcare” tab containing HL7 extension

Import MIF or MIF2 files Import information models into UML models Abstract Datatypes, HL7 Terminology, and HL7-specific UML extensions are applied automatically as MIF/MIF2 files are imported into UML2 models Uses Ant tasks:

SVN repository Each ballot MIF files are imported and checked into HL7 SVN repository http://svn.hl7.nscee.edu/svn/hl7v3

Re-using imported files “Check out” the specific HL7 ballot files

HL7-tools menu options-1 Right-click the diagram canvas “HL7 tools”  “Assign RIM colors” Colorize the classes according to their stereotype E.g. “Act” in Pink

HL7-tools menu options-2 Right-click the diagram canvas “HL7 tools”  “Collapse External” Automatically collapses the root classes of referenced CMETs

HL7 UML Extensions HDF Profile RIM Profile for the Foundation Classes In addition to the “color coding” Profiles are applied to models
