Topic: CapabilityStatement of the Client
Shamil Nizamov (Sep 18 2018 at 16:01):
What is the rational to have a CapabilityStatement on the client side - "A capability statements use the conformance resources to document how a client or server has implemented FHIR"?
I mean it's nice to know what a client is capable to do but who and how can retrieve this resource, by notion a client should not receive and process any requests.
Lloyd McKenzie (Sep 18 2018 at 17:02):
It's primarily around declaration of conformance. Any system that claims to be FHIR conformant but can't describe what it does using CapabilityStatement isn't making a useful declaration. It can also be useful for testing whether a client will be able to interoperate with a given server, testing compliance of a client with an implementation guide or an RFP, etc.
