ebBP 6/5/2006: Updated RIDE Project ebBP Efforts in the European Union- Software Tools and Editor Planned

["Monica J. Martin" <Monica.Martin@Sun.COM>]

The EU RIDE project have updated their ebBP profile for the Integrated 
Health Enterprise [1].

Software will be developed to support this effort, including wizards so 
that IHE vendors and users in a connect-a-thon (or in real life), will 
provide the
needed information through these wizards which currently they share 
through an online database or through an XML file. Open source software 
is anticipated
to be available in July 2006. Code listings (more than that which is 
included in the updated profile draft):

This profile is proposed for IHE profiles and is realized within the 
scope of IST 027065 RIDE Project 
(http://www.srdc.metu.edu.tr/webpage/projects/ride/)
as a part of the “Deliverable D.5.3.1 Contribution to Standardization 
Efforts” sponsored by the European Commission, DG Information Society 
and Media,
eHealth Unit (http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/activities/health/ 
index_ en.htm). Use of this technology and specifications such as ebBP 
provide:

   1. Reusability: Using Business Transactions from ebBP
   2. Configuration management: Use of ebBP with CPP/CPA.
   3. Discovery of configuration information
   4. Facilitate the grouping of IHE actors using profiles: Develop
      software tools to allow users to graphically group the Actors
      involved.
   5. Software support for configuration: A graphical ebBP editor will
      available (likely inline with freebxmlbp).

Thanks.
