Tracks
Each event can have any number of tracks defined for it. Anyone can create a track - if they make themselves a track lead, then only they can edit it. There are 3 different types of track:
- Technical tracks are used to record the outcome of testing between a client and a server.
- Logical model tracks are used to enter data for a single Logical Model (which must be created by the clinFHIR Logical modeller).
- Resource Graph tracks are used to create graphs of resources (or resource webs) that represent a single scenario
Events can be configured to only have a single type of track or any type. If more than one type is suppoered by an event, there is a set of buttons above the tracklist that can be used to show only a single type of track.
A tracks is selected by clicking on it in the list to the left. Details about that track will appear to the right, and a number of tabswill be displayed at the top of the screen (the tabs that appear depend on the track type).
The create Track page has further details.
Track Servers
When the track is created of type Resource Graph, the FHIR servers that it uses are selected. There are 3 servers for each track:
- The Conformance server holds the resource type definitions and profiles (as StructureDefinition resources)
- The Data server is where the resources in the graph can be saved (The graphs themselves are saved in a separate database). Server interaction is descibed on a separate page.
- The Terminology server supports the terminology operations that are required - specifically the $expand operation that displays the contents of a ValueSet. The ValueSets themselves and any associated CodeSystem resources must also be stored on the Terminology server.
