Stream: IG creation
Topic: Forwards References
Grahame Grieve (Feb 01 2020 at 06:37):
I have an IG from which I want to refer to other IGs. mostly, the other IGs will actually depend on this one. It's suggesting places to go look to use features it defines properly.
Grahame Grieve (Feb 01 2020 at 06:38):
at the moment, you have to reference an IG in your dependency list, or else the G publisher says that it's an error. Here's a case where I don't want to add the IG to my dependency list, but it's not an error to reference it either.
Grahame Grieve (Feb 01 2020 at 06:38):
in fact, generally, it's not an error.... it's just that mostly people have needed to reference it as a dependency when the refer to it, and people have been forgetting
Grahame Grieve (Feb 01 2020 at 06:39):
so I think I want to do something about this... but I don't want to simply allow references to hl7.org that can't be checked. I'm interested in opinions on this one

Could we add an element or extension that says "refers to content from package" or perhaps add a qualifier to dependency that indicates the nature of the dependency?
Grahame Grieve (Feb 01 2020 at 08:33):
I think I’d really rather avoid circular dependencies and special cases like ‘don’t follow this dependency in the presence of that extension”
Grahame Grieve (Feb 01 2020 at 08:33):
Though of course, UTG is going to give me problems around circular dependencies
Grahame Grieve (Feb 01 2020 at 08:34):
But I’ll have to get the package whatever if it’s a package reference
Lloyd McKenzie (Feb 01 2020 at 09:29):
If you want to validate, don't you have to have a package reference?
Grahame Grieve (Feb 01 2020 at 09:41):
yes. but maybe I don't have to validate special cases
