Existing Wording

In Appendix C, I read the Provenance - Author Participation template as saying you can use the same trick as in the standard C-CDA Author Participation template to reference an author already defined elsewhere in the document: The assignedAuthor/id may be set equal to (a pointer to) an id on a participant elsewhere in the document (header or entries) or a new author participant can be described here. That is, that it's okay to do this: assuming the document actually contains a full entry for the author with that id somewhere else. But when an author containing the Provenance - Author Participation templateId does this, it raises a handful of schematron errors that still enforce the SHALL constraint on the representedOrganization (CONF:4440-4 and children): This representedOrganization SHALL contain at least one [1..*] id (CONF:4440-10). This representedOrganization SHALL contain exactly one [1..1] name (CONF:4440-11). Such names SHALL contain exactly one [1..1] family (CONF:4440-17). Such names SHALL contain at least one [1..*] given (CONF:4440-18). This representedOrganization SHALL contain exactly one [1..1] id (CONF:4440-24) such that it MAY contain zero or one [0..1] @nullFlavor="UNK" Unknown (CodeSystem: HL7NullFlavor urn:oid:2.16.840.1.113883.5.1008) (CONF:4440-25). SHALL contain exactly one [1..1] @root="2.16.840.1.113883.4.2" Tax ID Number (CONF:4440-26). SHOULD contain zero or one [0..1] @extension (CONF:4440-27).

Proposed Wording

[Assuming the intent of the template was to allow the same behavior as the C-CDA Author Participation template, this just seems like a schematron problem to fix.]
