This module is expected to provide a RESTful interface for receiving and querying CDA documents. In the future, It will conform to a subset of the RESTful FHIR specification which is planned to be used for the future IHE MHD profile once it is stable. It will pass the received data on to the content handler with the content type of the payload. However, for now these specifications have not been completed and are not releases. So such we will produce a simple REST module to use to test the rest of the SHR architecture until such time as we have proper profiled specifications to develop against.

The design for this basic REST module can be found here: Simple SHR REST interface module

For a more detailed design of this component the MHD/FHIR module see: FHIR Document interface module (This will be updated as new specifications emerge)

Content Handler Module

This module receives data from the interface handler along with the content type of that data. Using this information it is expected to forward data to the appropriate processing module that can handle that data. It is also required to have functionality to allow processing modules to be able to dynamically register and de-register their interest to data of particular content types.
