See http://www.ringholm.de/docs/03020_en_HL7_CDA_common_issues_error.htm for a whitepaper about that topic.<br /><br />A prepackaged version of the Eclipse editor for CDA is described here: http://hl7book.net/index.php?title=Eclipse_Instance_Editor<br /><br />A CDA document has to validate against the abstract class definition as present in its specification.
