5.1.1 Template IDs and Version
Template identifiers (templateId) are assigned for each document, section, and entry level template. When valued in an instance, the template identifier signals the imposition of a set of template-defined constraints. The value of this attribute (e.g., @root="2.16.840.1.113883.10.20.22.4.8") provides a unique identifier for the template in question.
A template may be further qualified by a version label. This label may be used as the extension attribute of the templateID (e.g., @extension="20150309"). All versions of a template, regardless of the version label, must be compatible; i.e., they may vary only by optional content conformance requirements. Thus the version label is typically not used as a conformance constraint.
Within this Standard, template versions are identified by the string "DICOM" and the date of adoption (represented as YYYYMMDD), separated by a hyphen (e.g., DICOM-20150523).
5.1.2 Context
As described in the HL7 Template specification section 2.9.9.4, the context identifies whether the template applies to the parent node in which the templateID is an element, or applies to its sibling nodes in the template table. These typically are applied respectively to templateswithasingleparentelementwithchildelementstructure,andtotemplateswithflatlistofsiblingelements(seeSection5.2.8).
5.1.3 Open and Closed Templates
Eachtemplateisdefinedasbeingeither"open"or"closed".In"open"templates,allofthefeaturesoftheCDASpecificationareallowed except as constrained by the templates. By contrast, a "closed" template specifies everything that is allowed and nothing further may be included.
5.2 Template Table Structure
Each template is specified in tabular form, as shown in Table 5.2-1.
