Abstract
A method for storing communication messages in a relational database includes accepting an object model including data elements and associations between the data elements, derived from a hierarchically-structured HL7 specification. A relational database that represents the object model is defined based on the data elements and the associations and may be augmented with configured domain knowledge. A communication message conforming to the HL7 specification is received. The message includes data items corresponding to one or more of the data elements. The data items are stored in the relational database so as to preserve the associations between the data items, as defined in the object model.
