Here we track the items in the backlog for architecture:
Readiness for Production
When is the architecture ready to be used in production?
- When all backlog items are adopted and implemented
Backlog
| Description | Decisions | Adoption Status | Date of Status | Spike/POC |
|---|
| Data Verification | How do we verify the data is available for a data call / regulatory report? This is not a measure of its quality (see below) | - The verification that the data is available is made at the time of the extraction by the consenter.
- The required data format/level/version is specified on the extraction. This is effectively the requirement for the data.
- By consenting to the extraction, the data owner asserts that the data meets the format/level/version requirements.
- (Perhaps hold the result of the extraction for some period of time)
|
|
|
|
| Data Quality Validation | What validation of the data is provided? Is it all part of openIDL? Is it shared across the community? Is there some provided by the carrier/member? | - For stat reporting, the stat-agent is required to validate the data for accuracy.
- The validation rules are common and can be shared across all data owners.
|
|
|
|
| Edit Package | SDMA provides a way to identify and fix errors as they occur before submission of the data. Does this belong in the openIDL as a community component? If so, how do we provide that? | - A reference implementation is made available for the etl that updates the HDS
- The data owner is responsible for the implementation of the ETL
- The data must meet certain levels of correctness (see SDMA for guidance)
|
|
|
|
| Adapter Hosting Approach | The adapter runs multiple components required by participants in openIDL. How can we host these in member environments? | - Software running in the Adapter is provided as Docker containers
- The images are maintained in open source. Members are free to vet and bring the images internally.
- A mechanism for updates must be agreed upon. This includes an SLA that describes the timeframe for absorbing updates.
|
|
|
|
| Adapter Components | What are the components in the Adapter? |
|
|
|
|
| Extraction Technology | What is the technology used to execute the extractions in the member environment? |
|
|
|
|
| Data Standard Format | What is the format for the data? The data at rest in the HDS is the same or different from the data as it is being validated? | - Every format has a name
- Every format optionally has a level
- Every format / level has a version
- Every format level version has a document or section of a document that describes it
- The fields are enumerated
- Each field includes enough information on how to populate it
- The standard for verification
- The standard for quality
- Valid values for all fields
- Percent of acceptable errors
- Issue levels for each possible validation
- The rules needed (in prose and/or in technology) to validate the data.
