Connector

The Data Connector allows for systems to interoperate by converting one format to another format and by communicating over a well-known interface.

A System may or may not have a Connector.

Examples:

The Audit System will have an Audit System Storage Connector, so that every company can decide how to persist Audit Records.
Email Connector.
EHR Connector.
Health Reporting Connector. (Currently we only report to the CDC).
Various Shipping Connectors.

Connectors are always Strongly Typed.

One can implement a Connector Service that implements a Connector. This way a Tenant can change the way parts of the platform work.

Connectors can be outbound (most of the times), or inbound. I.e.: One can create an “Audit Connector” that writes the Audit Log to a different store than the default one, or, one can create a Connector that can receive Test Kit results from a Test Lab.
