The Lantana Validator

The Lantana Validator debugs your CDA® documents against the CDA R2 and CDA_SDTC XML Schemas and against any type of implementation guide that has a Schematron rule set. We host a public copy of the Validator for open access to over 20 types of documents. You can also host the Validator locally with balloted or propriety rules.

Trifolia-on-FHIR keeps you on track with the standard, which would be very difficult manually. It would be difficult (at least for me) to remember all those template details and datatype options. I would not want to author a CDA® or FHIR IG without it.

Trifolia-on-FHIR simplifies creating FHIR Implementation Guides in many ways. I can quickly and easily implement technically complicated features, such as slicing along with importing VSAC value sets for instant use in a profile. My favorite feature, hands down, is its seamless integration with the most up-to-date IG publisher.

Trifolia-on-FHIR is a powerful tool for standards designers. It makes a complex, highly technical task more manageable and fosters greater consistency across implementation guides. ToF produces IGs that feed directly into the HL7 balloting process, which simplifies ballot submission and publishing.

Validate with XSD Schema

XSD schema validation is one of the simplest and most important validation methods available. It ensures your XML document is well-formed and meets the structural guidelines of the schema/model. You can configure the validation with one or multiple XSD schemas.

Validate with Schematron

Schematron checks the structure and the content in the XML document. This additional level of validation ensures the values and codes within the XML document are appropriate and valid for the use case.

Validation Reporting

The Validator report is simple and helps solve the problems in your document by:

  • Identifying the issue as an error or a warning
  • Identifying the location of the issue in your XML file
  • Providing a descriptive summary of the problem
  • Identifying the test that resulted in an error/warning (for Schematron tests only)

Bulk Validate

The Validator is highly configurable. You can create a simple validation pipeline which validates against a single schema or you can create a more complex pipeline that validates against a schema, then a Schematron, then another Schematron, and so on.

Configuration

The Validator is highly configurable. You can create a simple validation pipeline which validates against a single schema or you can create a more complex pipeline that validates against a schema, then a Schematron, then another Schematron, and so on.
