14110: XDS-SD Schematron & PDF/A

In this test, an XDS-SD Content Creator will use Gazelle External Validation Service (EVS Client) to:

  • verify the attributes in the XDS-SD document using schematron
  • verify that the scanned portion of the document is PDF/A
There are two sets of instructions below.  Pick the instructions appropriate for your situation:
  1. Instructions for validating a sample XDS-SD for Connectathon testing.
  2. Instructions for validating your XDS-SD using EVSClient directly.

(1) Instructions for validation your sample XDS-SD for Connectathon testing.

First, upload your XDS-SD document into Gazelle Test Management.  If you support both PDF and Text, you will upload two samples

1. Create an XDS-SD document according to the capabilities of your application. Name the file using this convention:

    • SYSTEMNAME_XDS-SD-TEXT.xml, for example
    • EHR_XYZmed_XDS-SD-TEXT.xml
    • Get your system name right; get the document type right.

    2. Upload the document into the Samples area of Gazelle Test Management.

      • Click on the Samples to share tab for your test system
      • Find the XDS-SD entry and upload your document
      3. Next, validate your document
      • On the samples tab, use the green triangle under "Actions" to EVSClient to perform validation.
      • Now, proceed with the EVSClient instructions that follow below.

      (2) Instructions for validating your XDS-SD using EVSClient directly:

      First, run the schematron check:

      3. In the Schematron dropdown list, select IHE ITI ... XDS-SD

      Evaluation
       
      The EVSClient identifies errors in your content. 
       
      Once you have Passed validation, capture your results:
      1. If you uploaded a sample into Gazelle Test Management, you can copy/paste a permanent link to your sample, which will show Passed results.
      2. If you used EVSClient directly, you can copy/paste the permanent link to your results in EVSClient.

      Finally, paste the Permanent Link into Gazelle Test Management as the results for this test.
