note

In Switzerland, a transporter can be MediData or Swisscom Health Net. It works using Webservices. The connection can be using certificate and authorization token or using user/password logon method. As of today, some public authorities (cantons and communes) are starting to add to the existing file schema (XML V4.5 of forum-datenaustausch.ch).
