The Public Health Information Network Messaging System (PHINMS) provides a secure and reliable messaging system for the Public Health Information Network. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) say that there are currently multiple systems in place that support communications for public health labs, the clinical community, and state and local health departments. However, many of these systems operate in isolation, not capitalizing on the potential for a cross-fertilization of data exchange.
This presentation gives an overview of OASIS Standards supporting e-Business interoperability. The European Interoperability Framework (EIF) and the EBIF e-business roadmap define three levels of interoperability: technical, semantic and organization. In meeting these interoperability requirements, various patterns of e-business integration can be distinguished. Web Services and ebXML can be viewed as solutions focussed on two of these patterns.
