However, not all of these organizations necessarily use native XML storage. (Please note that HL7 Version 2.* did not use the XML data format. HL7 Version 3, with initial standard publication in 2005, uses XML.) Two other XML standards worth noting are <a href="http://www.niem.gov/" rel="nofollow">NIEM</a> and <a href="http://www.xbrl.org/Home/" rel="nofollow">XBRL</a>. In the Government space, there is currently a lot of activity around the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM). NIEM is designed to allow agencies to disseminate and exchange information. The eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) is gaining adoption for business reporting. The recent US SEC recommendation to mandate XBRL as a format for financial reporting has sparked a lot of interest and activity around XBRL. In healthcare, many organizations use HL7.

IBM has implemented support for these standards and made it freely downloadable. What does “support” mean? It surely starts with a DTD (Document Type Definition), and apparently also includes mappings to generic web services interfaces. It turns out that there are a lot of them, so I’m listing some in a separate post.
