Gazelle community
Gazelle has a vibrant development community that significantly enhances the platform through various contributions. This community not only develops external tools for validating transactions based on IHE profiles, such as Matchbox, and simulators like the XDS Toolkit and MHD Simulator from the NIST team, but also actively participates in creating new IHE profiles.
Additionally, tools not based on IHE profiles, such as the GDHCN Validator, are integrated with Gazelle. These collaborative efforts ensure that Gazelle continues to evolve and expand its capabilities, driven by the ongoing development and innovation from its community.
Integrate with Gazelle
Gazelle offers several integration options to enhance and customize your validation processes:
Validation Service API
The Validation Service API enables developers to integrate their own validators with Gazelle’s unified validation interface, EVSClient. This API outlines how to perform validations, including how to send validation requests, the expected format for results (validation reports), and the required metadata.
To assist developers, an example implementation is available through Swagger UI, which allows you to visualize and interact with request and response formats.

Gazelle Roadmap (2023-2025)
Marks a key period for the evolution of Gazelle, with a continued focus on improvement and innovation. Here are the main milestones and priorities for these three years:
Testing and Deployment of New Gazelle Versions at Major IHE Events
European & North America Connectathons
Gazelle traditionally releases two major updates annually, which are tested during the European (EU CAT) and North American (NA CAT) Connectathons. These major IHE events serve as the initial testing ground for these new versions, ensuring their stability and effectiveness before they are adopted more widely.
Projectathons
After being tested at the Connectathons, these new versions are further integrated and evaluated in Projectathons, where they are applied in more specific testing scenarii.
