ReadMe file for the HL7-ASIG-January2007-Examples.zip file

The files in this package are taken directly from the HL7 ballot of the "HIPAA" attachments, conducted during December but referred-to as the "January 2007 Ballot".  This (examples package) is on the "Documents/Presentations" page of www.hl7.org/asig - so that an easy comparison can be made by reviewers of the May2007 ballot package. 
 
One change has been made since January - to the style sheet (CDA.xsl) - the January version failed to include a reference to the Attachment Control Number (ACN).  I.e., while the XML example files contained the ACN, you would not see it when rendered in a browser.  
 
To use this package of examples, ensure that all of these files are extracted and placed into the same directory on your system.  

Use a browser (e.g., Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, etc.) to display the XML files in a nice format. 
 
Use a text editor (e.g., Notepad, TextPad, UltraEdit, etc.) to display the XML files the way a programmer would.
