- not storing any data or meta-data of Match-Connect participants after retrieval by the receiving hub
- not changing any data (payload) of Match-Connect messages
- ensure integrity and traceability of the messages exchanged (for details see Chapter 6.0).
(Moved from chapter 6) The Match Connect system acts as a central broker of information exchange between registries participating in the Match Connect ecosystem, also called central hub from here on. The central hub bears responsibility to:
- Route information from the sending registry to the receiving registry and maintain information integrity
- Provide meta information to aid in the investigation of message failures or data synchronization problems
- Provide meta information for traceability
- Ensure integrity of the data in the Search & Match Service
- Perform syntactic validation of the information (e.g. appropriate information structure, allowable values, valid dates, etc)
- Validate the data for fields which are contained in the Search & Match Service and update these accordingly. This applies to
- Patient data, in particular HLA
In performing these duties, the Match Connect system will inspect the contents of messages to determine who to route messages to and to perform basic validation. This content is not intended to be reviewed by administrators of the system except in cases of investigating message failures or data synchronization problems. Original message contents will never be modified by the central system but additional meta information "blocks" will be added to ensure the receiving registry is aware of:
- What registry sent the information
- What type of information is contained
- A message identifier
- A timestamp
- Any failed validations detected by the Match Connect system
