The use of the backlink has been left as an implementation choice, the use of the folder<br />

has been suggested only for the use cases based on an XDS infrastructure.<br />

13. Definition of the information that will be in the header: open/close, creator, uniqueID,<br />

Closed and defined in Volume 3.<br />

14. Management of the closing of a workflow to avoid inactive Workflow Document being<br />

returned by queries. This introduce some form of state of the workflow. However, as<br />

<strong>XDW</strong> does not want to define a mechanisms to define overall workflow states (this may<br />

be done through the definition of specific steps by the workflow specific specifications<br />

built on top of <strong>XDW</strong>. To make that point clear, it is proposed to only introduce a<br />

“workflow active flag”, which may be valued either as: “active” or “inactive” to make<br />

clear that such a mechanism is quite limited. It is proposed to place this “workflow<br />

active flag” in the document metadata “event code list”. It is proposed to not duplicate<br />

this workflow active flag in the workflow document header, but to simply introduce a<br />

copy of the flag indication in the workflow step data that resulted in modifying the<br />

“workflow active flag”.<br />

Agreed.<br />

15. A framework for specifying <strong>XDW</strong>-Based Content Profiles is proposed. It does not allow<br />

the <strong>XDW</strong> Document Content specification to be changed in its structure (no new data<br />

elements may be added). It allows to constrain already defined data elements in the<br />

<strong>XDW</strong> Workflow Document such as defining: (1) a set of Step Name codes and display<br />

names allowed, (2) succession rules/constraints between these steps, (3) the referenced<br />

input and output document content specifications (e.g. <strong>IHE</strong> PCC , Pharmacy, Laboratory,<br />

QRPH Content profiles), (3) the ability to span “sub-workflows” by creating new<br />

Workflow Documents, etc. This approach enables the development of more generic <strong>XDW</strong><br />

Workflow management applications.<br />

A workflow definition for a basic unstructured workflow has been proposed in an<br />

appendix. Later a guide for documenting workflow definition profiles will be developed<br />

as handbook.<br />

16. This proposal uses the CDA as formal structure of the Workflow Document. Is it<br />

appropriate If not propose a detailed alternative.<br />

No. The use of Human task was preferred.<br />

17. This proposal does not yet specify templates, value set if any, codes, etc. these will be<br />

defined, please comment.<br />
