Has anyone any experience of using open source XDS? I've found a list of projects here:

Quite a few appear to be inactive but this project seems promising http://www.connectopensource.org/ and it is supported by US government dept.

We are looking at indexing clinical documents and scans (not imaging at present)

Hi Kev,

Did you get anywhere with this? I to am interested in finding an open source implementation of XDS

Thanks

Nope, we didn’t need a full XDS system to do demonstrate document sharing. So we wrote our own.
Will be posting details once refactor is done.

Anyone?

Also interested in any commercial systems exposing XDS endpoints.
I've found some open source client software and want to test this out (for the one London Hackathon https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/interopen-presents-one-london-hackathon-tickets-62300426252 )
