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?)
