It would be nice to have a response from Jonathan Allen, the father of IMPDEF, whom I am cc'ing this message.
I personally feel that IMPDEF has a good potential but I am yet to see any real IGs in IMPDEF. May be Jonathan can refer them to us. Rachel said: "<snip>BTW, a colleague of mine already has the HIPAA 270, 820, 834 and 835 ICs and a portion of the 837D in IMPDEF form.<snip>" This is good news. I hope that 837D IG can be published in IMPDEF in fully machine-readable (interpretable) form.

Feahr, OD Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2002 6:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Testing for levels 3, 4, and 6 Rachel, I have a few questions about this... - What sort of labor is required to convert the plain text version of an X12 IG into the IMPDEF format? - How is the logic represented... SQL statements? - Do commercial translators reliably read IMPDEF documents today? - Are there other approaches to "machine-readable IGs" in reasonably wide use besides IMPDEF? - Will the XML versions of the standards eventually render some of this moot? Since we would only be talking about a different presentation format, it would seem that X12 IGs could be translated to IMPDEF without any specific HHS authorization... right? (I'm sure there must be a slew of problems with doing this... or we would have done it. Where is the current discussion taking place within X12?)
