Quality Control Specification - DEPRECATED

Examples

Here are some example rules, that you might consider when writing your own rules:

Validating resources in a single folder

This example validates all resources in a single folder. It also suppresses all parssing errors

- action: validate
  files: /examples/*.xml
  suppress: https://simplifier.net/qc/errors/evaluation|PARSING

Checking canonical base URLs

This example validates whether the canonicals for your conformance resources start with the right base URL:

- name: canonical-starts-with
  filter: url.exists() and ImplementationGuide.exists().not()
  # Excluding IGs for now, since they have a Simplifier.net canonical
  status: "Checking if canonical URL starts with correct base"
  predicate: url.startsWith('https://fhir.hl7.org.uk/')
  error-message: "Canonical URL doesn't start with correct base"

Checking if Publisher and Contact are filled (correctly)

Quality Control is a powerfull way to check for consistent metadata on all of your resources. In this case we are validating if the values of publisher and contact are filled correctly and whether they match each other.

- name: publisher-filled
  filter: (StructureDefinition or ValueSet or CodeSystem or 
  CapabilityStatement or SearchParameter or NamingSystem or 
  ConceptMap).exists()
  # Excluding IGs for now, since they don't have a way to set metadata
  status: "Checking if all resources have publisher filled"
  predicate: publisher.exists() and (publisher in ('HL7 UK' | 'NHS Digital'))
  error-message: "Publisher not filled (correctly)"

- name: contact-filled
  filter: (StructureDefinition or ValueSet or CodeSystem or CapabilityStatement or          
  SearchParameter or NamingSystem or ConceptMap).exists()
  # Excluding IGs for now, since they don't have a way to set metadata
  status: "Checking if all resources have contact filled"
  predicate: contact.name.exists() and ('HL7 UK' in contact.name or 'NHS Digital' in contact.name)
  error-message: "Contact not filled (correctly)"

- name: publisher-equals-contact
  filter: (StructureDefinition or ValueSet or CodeSystem or CapabilityStatement or SearchParameter or NamingSystem or ConceptMap).exists()
  # Excluding IGs for now, since they don't have a way to set metadata
  status: "Checking if publisher is one of the contacts"
  predicate: iif(publisher.exists() and contact.name.exists(), publisher in contact.name)
  error-message: "Resource has publisher not listed as one of the contacts"
