Major (1.x.0)
Breaking change to a profile, extension, or CodeSystem URL. Requires technical-steering vote and a 30-day notice in the changelog.
Minor (0.x.0)
Additive: new profile, new extension, expanded CodeSystem. No breaking change. ~2-month cadence.
Patch (0.x.y)
Bug fix, typo, slicing tightening that does not break existing valid resources.
Legal pin
Whenever a new TT/QĐ/NĐ/Luật impacts an existing profile, a release ships within one cycle to keep IG aligned.
v1.0.0 is the line at which Omi HealthTech files for HL7 Vietnam Affiliate status with HL7 International. By that point the IG must have ≥3 signed pilots, complete BHYT and EMR coverage, and a working group with five named roles.
