N/A
5. Other useful information describing the "Quality" of the document:
An improvement over the XUA Profile improving access control for audit logging: This supplement extends the Cross-Enterprise User Assertion (XUA) profile with Options that will enable access controls on the service side. The current XUA profile allows attributes but does not require any specific attributes beyond the user identity that is used for audit logging. There is now experience on how to extend an XUA Assertion to support some service side access control. This improvement over the XUA profile has been recognized and implemented within related certification programs.
6. The degree of stability or maturity of the document:
See 5.
7. Relationship with other existing or emerging documents:
This document defines a coordinated set of transactions based on ASTM, DICOM, HL7, IETF, ISO, OASIS and W3C standards. The COntinua Design Guidelines further constrained it for the HRN and WAN interfaces.
