Model Quick Reference

The following table provides a quick overview of all types supported by the Marketplace specification.

Type	Brief Description
IdentityProvider	Marketplace instance-level configuration parameters allowing user authentication against an external authority using OpenID Connect authentication flows.
User	A distinct person or system with some degree of access or interest to a Marketplace instance.
(User) Identity	IdentityProvider-specific information pertaining to a given User.
(User) Platform	Declaration of a compatible external Service runtime environment maintained by the User.
Group	A named collection of Users for purposes of batch Role assignment.
(Group) Member	Essentially a “join” record signifying a given User’s placement within a Group.
Role	A named set of permissions.
(Role) Appointment	The granting of a single Role to a single User or Group. (It is a polymorphic type.)
JsonWebToken	An RFC 7519 JSON Web Token issued to permit access by a given Identity to a Marketplace instance as a bearer token.
License	A known software or content license type, required to create Service records.
Service	Declaration of a Platform-compatible executable in the form of key metadata. Does not directly provide a reference to an executable image.
(Service) Screenshot	Optional graphical images for illustrating Service features to Users.
(Service) Build	Defines the reference to a specific versioned image of a given Service. Images must be hosted such that the Marketplace and its Users have read-only network access, at minimum.
(Service Build) Dependency	Known dependencies that are needed to run a given Build of a service.
(Service Build) Exposure	The standardized Interfaces capabilities provided by a given Service Build.
(Service Build Exposure) Parameter	States that configuration parameter of the given name is required at runtime to successfully provide the Interface of the Exposure.
(Service Build) Configuration	The runtime constraints of a Build that need to be known by a Platform for execution.
(Service Build Configuration) Task	A container entry point and associated constraints that must be run as part of a Configuration profile.
Interface	Marketplace-wide declaration of a standardized – or at least conventionalized – computational integration point. They are not constraints to HL7 standards.
(Interface) Surrogate	Marketplace-wide statement that the referenced substitute Interface provides compatible capabilities of the given base Interface. Useful for defining new versions of an Interface that are backwards compatible with older versions.
