Data interchange format

The fundamental format for data exchange in EACTS Database Software is XML.

Format Specification

This is a DTD (Document Type Definition) which can be used to validate an XML file.

• CardiacDataExchange.dtd

This DTD file defines the relations between patients, admissions, operations, etc. in the export file.

If you want to see the codes of diagnoses, procedues, complications, nca and gprf, download the software, perform a complete export to XML and examine the file.

All dictionaries (wich factor codes) can be found in the source code. You can use a direct link to the dictionaries file.
