Standardized XML File Import
A Mirth Connect channel has been created to import data from an XML file with a standardized format. This reference implementation is simple, easy to understand and easy to expand with added functionality such as additional data validations or transformations.
Direct Data Inserts
Data providers with a high volume of data and the resources can build a system for direct data inserts into the OpenLDR Database. It is important they work with the primary OpenLDR administrators in order to minimize any issues with inadvertent data updates. This is a more resource intensive solution than utilizing some of the standardized methods but it could have advantages for some data providers.
Web API
A web API created using Mirth has been created and is being tested. This API will handle JSON and XML requests and data for Inserts, Updates, Deletes and also requests. It is expected this API will grow as more specific needs are identified. The API will be documented on it's own page on this website as soon as it is released.
Custom Imports
Custom import routines can be created using various methods. While the standardized methods might already be in place you might have data that requires too much development to put into the standardized format and it is easier to just write a custom import routine to parse the data and update the OpenLDR database. The reference implementations utilize Mirth Connect which can also be used to create these custom imports in a common platform.
