Abstract
The CITS eHealth1 has undergone major and minor revisions following feedback from the National Health Archive (NHA) in Norway and from the E-ARK Validation Group regarding an issue with the use of representations within eHealth1 that could cause issues with validation. The documents have also received improvements from the author for usability and maintenance. The changes impact the specification, guideline and METS profiles for root and representation. The changes are as follows:
