[Dcmlib] [Gdcm2] Private Dictionary and Part 3 as XML

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Hi there,

  I have created a central XML file that gather all private DICOM data
elements (just like Part 6 for public elements). A couple of things:
- It's XML so this is trivial to transform to (almost)anything else
- It's generation process allows one to simply 'append' any new DCS
from a private vendor.

The result file is:
  http://gdcm.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gdcm/Sandbox/private.xml?view=markup

But the actual real one is this one:
  http://gdcm.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gdcm/Sandbox/index.xml?view=markup

The syntax is extremly simple. Anyone can simply add an XML file
representing the dict of a particular private vendor. If anyone is
interested in doing so, please send me your private dict.
  I encourage such people to read a couple of other private dictionary
to understand what is required, for instance:

http://gdcm.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gdcm/Sandbox/gems/contour72.xml?view=markup

  The file naming convention is simply to use the same basename as the
DCS, and -most important thing- to include the URL to the DCS, which
potentially allow other people to validate/verify a particular XML-
DCS.

  As of today the merging process is quite limited, and whichever file
comes first will be used in case of duplicate data elements. A notion
of date is already present and will be used in a more advanced merging
process.

---------------------------------------:


  I have previously send this newsgroup, an XML version of PS 3.6 -
2008. I am now sending a *partial* PS 3.3 - 2008 XML file:
http://gdcm.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gdcm/trunk/Source/InformationObjectDefinition/Part3.xml?view=markup

  Three types of tables are present: macro, iod and module. Some work
still need to be done to polish/reformat Enumerated Values / Defined
Terms, and some section are still missing (work in progress).
  This file is for the most part automatically generated from the .doc
file from the official medical.nema.org website.

Looking for your comments and/or bug report

Thanks for your time,
-Mathieu
Ps: you are -of course- encouraged to use the svn command to retrieve
those files instead of your web browser. See:
