NAME
       xml2dsr - Convert XML document to DICOM SR file

SYNOPSIS
       xml2dsr [options] xmlfile-in dsrfile-out

DESCRIPTION
       The  xml2dsr utility converts the contents of an	XML (Extensible	Markup
       Language) document to DICOM  Structured	Reporting  (SR)	 format	 (file
       format or raw data set).	The XML	Schema dsr2xml.xsd does	not yet	follow
       any standard format. However, the xml2dsr application might be enhanced
       in  this	 aspect	 in the	future (e. g. by supporting HL7/CDA - Clinical
       Document	Architecture).

       An appropriate XML file can be created using the	dsr2xml	 tool  (option
       +Xn recommended to add XML namespace declaration	to the root element).

PARAMETERS
       xmlfile-in   XML	input filename to be converted ("-" for	stdin)

       dsrfile-out  DICOM SR output filename ("-" for stdout)

       Please  note that currently only	mandatory and some optional attributes
       are supported.

   Character Encoding
       The DICOM character  encoding  is  determined  automatically  from  the
       element with tag	'0008,0005' (Specific Character	Set) - if present. The
       following  character  sets  are currently supported (requires libxml to
       include iconv support, see --version output):

       ASCII	     (ISO_IR 6)	   (UTF-8)
       UTF-8	     "ISO_IR 192"  (UTF-8)
       ISO Latin 1   "ISO_IR 100"  (ISO-8859-1)
       ISO Latin 2   "ISO_IR 101"  (ISO-8859-2)
       ISO Latin 3   "ISO_IR 109"  (ISO-8859-3)
       ISO Latin 4   "ISO_IR 110"  (ISO-8859-4)
       ISO Latin 5   "ISO_IR 148"  (ISO-8859-9)
       ISO Latin 9   "ISO_IR 203"  (ISO-8859-15)
       Cyrillic	     "ISO_IR 144"  (ISO-8859-5)
       Arabic	     "ISO_IR 127"  (ISO-8859-6)
       Greek	     "ISO_IR 126"  (ISO-8859-7)
       Hebrew	     "ISO_IR 138"  (ISO-8859-8)
       Thai	     "ISO_IR 166"  (TIS-620)
       Japanese	     "ISO 2022 IR 13ISO	2022 IR	87"  (ISO-2022-JP)
       Korean	     "ISO 2022 IR 6ISO 2022 IR 149"  (ISO-2022-KR)
       Chinese	     "ISO 2022 IR 6ISO 2022 IR 58"   (ISO-2022-CN)
       Chinese	     "GB18030"	   (GB18030)
       Chinese	     "GBK"	   (GBK)

   Compression
       If libxml is compiled with zlib support,	the  input  file  (xmlfile-in)
       can  also be compressed with ZIP, which usually results in much smaller
       files. See output of option --version in	order to  check	 whether  zlib
       support is available.

   Limitations
       The  XML	 Schema	 dsr2xml.xsd  does  not	 support all variations	of the
       dsr2xml output format. However, the default output format (plus	option
       --use-xml-namespace) should work.

       Different  versions  of	libxml	seem  to have different	limits for the
       maximum length of an XML	element	value. Therefore, it should be avoided
       to use very long	element	values.	A typical  limit  for  libxml  version
       2.7.3 (and above) is 10 MB for a	single element value.

LOGGING
       The  level  of  logging	output	of  the	various	command	line tools and
       underlying libraries can	be specified by	the  user.  By	default,  only
       errors  and  warnings  are  written to the standard error stream. Using
       option --verbose	also informational messages  like  processing  details
       are  reported.  Option  --debug	can be used to get more	details	on the
       internal	activity, e.g. for debugging purposes.	Other  logging	levels
       can  be	selected  using	option --log-level. In --quiet mode only fatal
       errors are reported. In such very severe	error events, the  application
       will  usually  terminate.  For  more  details  on the different logging
       levels, see documentation of module 'oflog'.

       In case the logging output should be written to file  (optionally  with
       logfile	rotation),  to syslog (Unix) or	the event log (Windows)	option
       --log-config can	be used.  This	configuration  file  also  allows  for
       directing  only	certain	messages to a particular output	stream and for
       filtering certain messages based	on the	module	or  application	 where
       they  are  generated.  An  example  configuration  file	is provided in
       <etcdir>/logger.cfg.

COMMAND	LINE
       All command line	tools  use  the	 following  notation  for  parameters:
       square  brackets	 enclose  optional  values  (0-1), three trailing dots
       indicate	that multiple values are allowed (1-n),	a combination of  both
       means 0 to n values.

       Command line options are	distinguished from parameters by a leading '+'
       or  '-' sign, respectively. Usually, order and position of command line
       options are arbitrary (i.e. they	 can  appear  anywhere).  However,  if
       options	are  mutually exclusive	the rightmost appearance is used. This
       behavior	conforms to the	 standard  evaluation  rules  of  common  Unix
       shells.

       In  addition,  one  or more command files can be	specified using	an '@'
       sign as a prefix	to the filename	(e.g. @command.txt).  Such  a  command
       argument	 is  replaced  by  the	content	of the corresponding text file
       (multiple whitespaces are treated as a  single  separator  unless  they
       appear  between	two  quotation marks) prior to any further evaluation.
       Please note that	a command file cannot contain  another	command	 file.
       This  simple  but  effective  approach  allows  one to summarize	common
       combinations of options/parameters and  avoids  longish	and  confusing
       command lines (an example is provided in	file <datadir>/dumppat.txt).

ENVIRONMENT
       The  xml2dsr  utility  will  attempt  to	 load  DICOM data dictionaries
       specified in the	DCMDICTPATH environment	variable. By default, i.e.  if
       the   DCMDICTPATH   environment	 variable   is	 not   set,  the  file
       <datadir>/dicom.dic will	be loaded unless the dictionary	is built  into
       the application (default	for Windows).

       The   default   behavior	  should  be  preferred	 and  the  DCMDICTPATH
       environment variable only used when alternative data  dictionaries  are
       required.  The  DCMDICTPATH environment variable	has the	same format as
       the Unix	shell PATH variable in that a colon (':')  separates  entries.
       On  Windows systems, a semicolon	(';') is used as a separator. The data
       dictionary code will  attempt  to  load	each  file  specified  in  the
       DCMDICTPATH  environment	variable. It is	an error if no data dictionary
       can be loaded.
