CCDA Validator portal is NOT working

[Prasanna S]

Hi Team,

The CCDA Validator portal is NOT working since yesterday and gives below error, by when it will be available for testing ?

URL: https://site.healthit.gov/c-cda/uscdi-v3

Regards,

Prasanna

The tool will be back up shortly after the US government shutdown ends, but until then, all of the ONC sites including testing tools are down.

We are trying to set up our local instance of the reference validator to handle scenario-based content validation while we wait for somebody to switch the government back on, but I am not able to find the actual data files (at least, I don't think I've found them) that need to be made available in the scenarios directory in order to enable that validation.

By way of example, for the 170.315_b1_ToC_Amb objective, I can find the PDF documentation here: https://github.com/onc-healthit/ccda-uscdi-certification-testdata/tree/main/uscdi-v3-testdata/Sender%20SUT%20Test%20Data/170.315_b1_ToC_Amb
but it does not appear to be the case that there is structured data for the validator to consume in those files.

Looking into https://github.com/onc-healthit/content-validator-api/blob/master/src/main/java/org/sitenv/contentvalidator/service/ContentValidatorService.java convinces me that I should be looking for an XML file named along the same lines as the PDF files (e.g.  "170.315_b1_toc_amb_svap_uscdiv3_sample1_v1.xml")

but I can't find matching XML files anywhere in that repository, or anywhere else in the onc-healthit github organization. (The same situation appears to exist in https://github.com/onc-healthit/2015-edition-cures-update-data, for what it's worth).

Can anybody point us in the direction of the data files that we would need to deploy in order to get this validation working locally?

From looking at archive.org, the scenario files come from GitHub:
https://codeload.github.com/onc-healthit/ccda-uscdi-certification-testdata/zip/main

Which is this repo:
https://github.com/onc-healthit/ccda-uscdi-certification-testdata

Yeah, the PDF documents for human consumption are in that repo, but the validator code appears to be expecting XML, so either there is some clever mechanism for extracting the structured data from those PDFs, or the actual content validation process requires some files that aren't published in that location. Or I have fundamentally misunderstood something about how content validation works, which is a totally realistic possibility, but isn't my go-to theory.
