Provide post on the wiki further thoughts on an alternative, super simple content packaging formula that meets use case of presupposition – that is simple from developer and end user perspective?

Discussion & Framing Issues
1) Difference between header metadata and content package metadata
o Policy issues with PHI in header metadata
o Internet Message Format headers in current specification as strawcase

o Listen to Devon McGraw’s speech to HITPC Privacy & Security Policy Workgroup
§ Has standing on whether we encrypt the payload
o Discussions that have evolved have confused even David so he will restate it:
§ We need to decide the minimum required or mandatory header data
§ Common use case: XDS derived content/messages then how do we sync up these headers
§ Then metadata inside an object
§ Simplest possible HISP would never see anything other than encrypted payload
§ Policy implication about what goes in header vs content
§ Can’t simply say the person-person message takes away all the complexity surrounding this, there is still complexity
o Comment from David Kibbe
§ Separate metadata in the header from the package
§ Don’t understand with why we’d be concerning ourselves with what is the metadata in the package, but not in the header
§ Why are we concerning ourselves with this
· Discussion about: Agreement important separation between header/content metadata & using internet metadata format as the minimal header metadata
· Comment from Keith Boone
o Header information about the message should be distinct from the content
o Issues to bring up about the specifics of MIME field
§ Minimum sets is applicable if you are doing SMPT, but different for REST and SOAP
§ Internet message format isn’t MIME
§ Discribing minimal set of metadata, and this is a starter set
§ Affinity domain associated with NHIN work?
· Comment from Mark Stine
o Not requiring the date field

2) Minimalist use of metadata strawcase
o Multipart MIME as baseline
o Minimalist XDS metadata: [1]
o Simpler XDS notation or easier path to expressing simplest metadata [2]
Discussion: we’ve got multi-part MIME as minimalist, is there a step up using XDS metadata
· Comment from Keith Boone
o Usual case, find agreement between document and header
o Use cases: newborn delivery
§ Document is summary of labor/delivery that included health information about mother/newborn
§ Exchange and local identifiers may not always be the same
§ Normally most common cases say that these are tightly linked, so we should document them – close ties and could almost automate the generation of XDS metadata when it is that constrained
o XDM model as a grouping tool
o How much metadata should be reflected in the XDS header as to just trusting the metadata in the documents
o Issue in discussion from Wiki
§ Text message, and an attached healthcare document (CCD) that minimalist use doesn’t give a good way to express “this is about the same patient”
§ Don’t be reliant upon complex HER processing
o Should we layer the straw-man spec (second layer: how to use XDM, HL& 2.5 in a later layer)?
o Cleaner distinction between headers concerning the message lower level transport and the use of XDS and a specific type of includable object
o Requirements document for CP specification
o Arien will write a Requirements Document for Content Packaging Specification
· Comment from Lin Wan
o Implication for the receiving system
o Email client could ignore XDS Metadata and format up like an email – doesn’t preclude getting into the content
o ZIP Package contains multiple set of metadata inside it
· Comment from Vassil
o Still some layering confusion in what we are layering. Vassil’s understanding is:
§ Information that is necessary for the routing without information about the content
§ If we use XDS metadata there are certain things that will help us achieve – the information that is associated with certain patient can be anything
§ One way to package this metadata with associated topic is XDS or over email in Zip file
§ Provides a directory structure so that when the file is unzipped the HTML file will provide links to other content in the package
§ Vassil will provide a “layering discussion on the Wiki
· What parts are optional, recommended and required at each level?

Next Time:
3) Standardization of mutually specified by Affinity Domain XDS metadata items (C80 sufficient?)
4) Packaging XDS metadata strawcase
a. Use of multipart/related as with current strawcase?
b. Only XDM zip files?
5) Another addition from Vassil Peytchev: Content Types
6) Another addition from Paul Saxman: How does MIME/XDS fit in with the other WGs?
