Greetings from the NAACCR XML Workgroup!
The XML Data Exchange Standard v1.7 is available on the NAACCR website at: www.naaccr.org/xml-data-exchange-standard
The NAACCR Data Exchange Standard, XML Specifications for Cancer Registry Records has been updated to version 1.7 (May 2023). Changes since version 1.6 include:
- Padding attribute: The "leftBlank", "rightBlank" and "rightZero" values were retired. The allowed values for that attribute are now "leftZero" and "none" with the default value being "none"
- Trim attribute was retired
- If your user-defined dictionaries use these attributes, refer to the Standard for suggestions
Questions and comments about the XML Data Exchange Standard can be directed to the NAACCR XML forum: https://share.naaccr.org/xml-forum
Thank you,
