The XML ID is different from the section id. Where the XML ID is used for linking sections together or to other parts of a narrative, the Section's id attribute is just a unique identifier for that section.
Here is a sample (from the IGuide) that shows the use of both: <component>
<section>
<id root="47ef84cd-8314-48c3-8ee2-bdff3087f83f"/>
<code code="43685-7" codeSystem="2.16.840.1.113883.6.1"
displayName="warnings and precautions section"/>
<title>5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS</title>
<excerpt>
<highlight>
<text>
<list listType="unordered">
<item>Aplastic anemia has been observed in 8% of recipients and is
irreversible in the majority of patients who experience this. (<linkHtml
href=”#Section_5.1”>5.1</linkHtml>)</item>
<item>Monitor for hematological adverse reactions every 2 weeks
through the second month of treatment (<linkHtml
href=”#Section_5.2”>5.2</linkHtml>)</item>
</list>
</text>

</excerpt>
<component>
<section ID=”Section_5.1”>
<id root="a857689e-9563-43c0-a244-8a6d5a25966a"/>
<title>5.1 Aplastic anemia</title>
<text>
<paragraph>Aplastic anemia has been observed in.....</paragraph>
</text>
</section>
</component>
</section>
</component>When looking at the existing SPL model, the id is Mandatory which means that it is required and actually can't be empty. I searched through the SPL Implementation Guide and it was not very helpful in terms of what the id attribute is intended to be used for: Section 3.2.1, para 3: Each section has a unique identifier (<id>), an <effectiveTime>, and a LOINC code (i.e., the <code> element). A section may or may not contain a <title>. From the examples that are provided in the IGuide, it looks like just a generic identifier for the section, so I would agree with you that it does not serve a real purpose. You might want to ask your question at the HL7 International level (to the Biomedical Research and Regulation workgroup). Sincerely, Jean Duteau |

I understand the value of using the
<component><section ID="bde4efc11-4315-41e3-8c56-83e8bf4f770b"> as it allows linking to a specific section but if there is a section ID what is the requirement or use to also have an <id> element in the section? The element is required, yes it can be an empty element but I don't understand the use case for it. Please point me in the right direction or tell me what this element is used for in the SPL content sections (it seems redundant to me). Thanks In Advance, Peter |
