Abstract

IHE XDS (cross-enterprise document sharing) can be used to share documents between different organizations using a common portal. The XDS registry holds document metadata, which can be searched to retrieve appropriate documents stored in XDS repositories. Local specifications for metadata are defined in an affinity domain. The metadata includes information about each document, the patient, author, event and technical data. A number of related specifications are defined as extensions.
