Thread:User talk:Nike/Is HL7 FHIR Specification suitable to be added as a new project?/reply (2)

Hi Nemo,

Thanks first!

The FHIR website is just an exact representation of the FHIR specification and it/its content is the same as the whole specification.
 * A zipped official copy of the FHIR specification (i.e., the full site not including the downloads) can be downloaded from here.

Broadly, the FHIR specification is broken up into 3 parts (See here):
 * 1) General documentation that describes how resources are defined, and gives background material including definitions of data types, codes, and the XML and JSON formats
 * 2) Implementation - how to use resources using REST, Messaging, as clinical documents, or in a service based architecture
 * 3) The resource list - a list of all the resources defined by FHIR. You can also get lists for clinical, administrative and infrastructural resources

The FHIR Wiki is a place where development processes, methodology and design decisions are documented.
 * Implementers and others can also contribute to the wiki to provide additional guidance and supplemental information not found in the specification.
 * Note that wiki content is not authoritative and is not relevant for determining conformance to the FHIR specification.
 * As well, some wiki content may not be up to date with the most recent version of the FHIR specification.

Thanks agian.

Cheers,
