• Sheridan walked through the process diagram for how changes can be edited and published to both IG Pub and Simplifier
• Licensing – are there any backup plans if the licensed cannot be renewed? Will want to ensure that the timeline of the project goes beyond the licensing for these tools?
• The files themselves are insulated and can be used in many other places; that content wont change if the tooling licenses change
• Would be ideal if there is a national group to house these files as a repository
• (above is a question of data sovereignty)
• Smita walked the group through the use of the Forge tool
• How do we constrain elements like PostalCode to validate against national directories, like Canadian postal code directory? Is there a technical capacity to do this with FHIR or do we have it as an instruction in the iGuide?
• How to enforce the formatting?
• Can use a regular expression so it conforms to a certain format; will need to research further
• Will post a question to chat.fhir.org or zulip chat
• www.hl7.org/fhir/extension-regex.html
• This page provides an example of a constraint for US zip codes / Canadian postal codes: hl7.org/fhir/DSTU1/patient-daf-dafpatient.html
• Sheridan walked the group through the way that the work being done, content being drafted, is reflected in both GitHub and Simplifier
• Point is that we can create synonymous views
• How do we wan to tackle the narrative / supporting content for each of the profiles? (the introductory / notes content)
• AI: Mike to reach out to Tim and Yaron and will ask how they are handling the non-SD content for the profiles, for their iGuide?
• AI: Mike to post to forum to get everyone thoughts on the arrangement of meeting times for SN and IS
• Tues at 11am: Health Terminologies Community on Sex and Gender: Francis Presenting

Hi all,

For this Friday's Solution Architecture / Canadian Core Governance Call, the draft agenda is as follows:

We will plan to discuss the various capabilities we have at our disposal for committing the agreed-upon changes to the profiles (i.e. simplifier, IG publisher, Forge, etc.). We will plan to have a demo provided of how Forge can publish directly to Simplifier. As part of this, we will examine the capabilities to have changes committed in one place (i.e. GitHub) reflected accurately in both IG Publisher and Simplifier.

-Mike
