How does it work ?

1. Register and reference IHE Integration Statement (IIS)
2. 
   There are 2 ways to register an IHE Integration Statement (IIS).
   First way, the company has already an IIS :

   1 - Vendors publish IIS on the company website, this is often a PDF document 2 - Vendors register IIS in the Product Registry, indicating the content of the IIS (actors, profiles, ...) and the URL of this document on the company website 3 - After the admin verification of the IIS content, the Product Registry references the IIS. This referencement allows any user to find it, performing a search in the Product Registry

   
   Second way, the company generates an IIS using the Product Registry and does not wait the admin verification :

   1 - Vendors register IIS in the Product Registry, indicating the content of the IIS (actors, profiles, ...) 2 - Vendors generate IIS document (PDF file) and download it on his computer 3 - Vendors publish this IIS document (PDF file) on the company website, to make it reachable by any one 4 - Vendors update the public URL on the company website into the Product Registry 5 - Product Registry recognizes the generated IIS and references it automatically. This referencement allows any user to find it, performing a search in the Product Registry

   
   
3. Search and find IIS depending on search criteria

4. 1 - A user queries the Product Registry to find IIS depending on criteria (domain, profile, actor, company...) 2 - This user gets from the Product Registry the list of existing IIS, with the associated URL 3 - User clicks on the URL and go directly on the IIS located on the vendor website. He can view the IIS
