3.54 Document Metadata Publish [ITI-54]

This section corresponds to transaction [ITI-54] of the IHE IT Infrastructure Technical Framework. Transaction [ITI-54] is used by the Document Metadata Notification Broker and Document Metadata Publisher Actors.

3.54.1 Scope

This transaction delivers information from the Document Metadata Publisher to the Document Metadata Notification Broker about an event which may have a subscription. The WS Brokered Notification Publisher Registration requirements are out of scope for this transaction.

3.54.2 Use Case Roles

Actor: Document Metadata Notification Broker

Role: Receives and processes information about events for which there may be a subscription.

Actor: Document Metadata Publisher

Role: Publishes information to the Document Metadata Notification Broker when applicable events occur for which a subscription may exist.

3.54.4 Messages

3.54.4.1 Notify Message

3.54.4.1.1 Trigger

When an event occurs for which a subscription may exist, the Document Metadata Publisher will trigger a Notification message to the Document Metadata Notification Broker. Events that could trigger a notification are publication of or update to a DocumentEntry or SubmissionSet.

3.54.4.1.2 Message Semantics

The Document Metadata Publisher shall use a Notify message to communicate published objects to the Document Metadata Notification Broker Actor.

This message shall have one <NotificationMessage> element.

This element SHALL have two child elements:

  • <ProducerReference> that identifies the source of the data published. This element conveys the value of the SubmissionSet.sourceId attribute. This attribute shall contain a URI, for example “urn:oid:1.2.3.4.5”.
  • <Message> that identifies published objects. This element shall have a single child element <lcm:SubmitObjectsRequest> that has only one child element <rim:RegistryObjectList>. This element conveys a list of SubmissionSet, Folder, and DocumentEntry objects.

Note: SubmissionSet objects are constructed from <rim:RegistryObject> elements and must include the <rim:Classification> .

Note that there is no subscription information in the Notify message in the Publish transaction.

3.54.4.1.3 Expected Actions

The Notify message shall comply with the requirements in the WS-BaseNotification standard.

The Document Metadata Notification Broker shall evaluate the Publish transaction, and if there are matching subscriptions, it shall send the corresponding Notification transaction to the appropriate Document Metadata Notification Recipients.

3.54.5 Security Considerations

The risk assessment for the Document Metadata Publish transaction is described in the risk assessment spreadsheet for the Document Metadata Subscription Profile, which is available from IHE at http://wiki.ihe.net/images/4/46/DSUB_risk_assesment.xls . The derived mitigations are as follows:

  • The Document Metadata Publisher and the Document Metadata Notification Broker shall be grouped with a Secure Node or Secure Application in the Audit Trail and Node Authentication (ATNA) Profile.
  • The use of encrypted TLS is recommended when the transmission is not otherwise secured (e.g., transmission over a secure network)

3.54.5.1 Audit Record Considerations

The Document Metadata Publish Transaction is an Export event, as defined in ITI TF-2: Table 3.20.4.1.1.1-1. The actors involved in the transaction shall create audit data in conformance with DICOM Part 15 “Data Export”/”Data Import”, with the following exceptions.
