Expectations of distributed document metadata

Decision Status: Completed

Background

For a national document classification system to work, all medical documents sent outside their originating system need to have certain attributes as part of the transport standard being used.  

Options


Discussion

Proposal: Document metadata MUST contain an appropriate numeric identifier from the Canadian Document Ontology.

·       “Appropriate”: the content of the document matches the common interpretation of the Long Common Name or the definition defined by Canadian Document Ontology. 

·       Must contain:  A Canadian Display Name

·       MAY contain:  Part axis values and identifier, Local Name, Other display names


Suggestion to add: The title of the document should match the content as well as add information about the document not already contained in the document type.
