This specification defines an electronic representation that includes the varying information required for broad exchange in health care both today and in the future. eXtensible Markup Language (XML) is a convergence of data processing, communication, and publishing technology. XML is a platform, vendor, and application independent technology for describing document content and structure in tags or elements. The names of the tags and the rules for using them are contained in the document type definition (DTD). The clinical XML DTD defines the standard XML DTD for: admission notes, discharge summaries, history and physical examinations, operative reports, pathology reports, radiology reports, and radiation therapy summaries. The DTDs define templates for clinical content. Clinical content may take the form of character data or elements from the XHTML Basic 1.0 DTD.
