+OpenExchange - OpenXDS - With ODD support
+=========================================
+
+This is a forked version of the [original OpenXDS](https://www.projects.openhealthtools.org/sf/projects/openxds/) with added support for [the on-demand documents option](http://wiki.ihe.net/index.php?title=ITI_On-Demand_Documents). These additions were done to enable the use of OpenXDS as an XDS registry for the [OpenSHR project](https://github.com/jembi/openshr) which is a reference tool for [OpenHIE](http://ohie.org/).
+
+What is it?
+-----------
+
+OpenExchange is a Charter project under Open Health Tools (openhealthtools.org)
+providing standards based core infrastructure to exchange patient health
+information in a secure and timely manner, to advance the quality, safety
+and efficiency of healthcare delivery. The OpenExchange platform is a critical
+element of HIE infrastructure that provides clinicians and other members of
+the healthcare community with the right information at the right time by
+making patient information available across organizational boundaries. It
+facilitates and streamlines the sharing of patient information throughout
+an HIE community.
+
+OpenExchange consists of open source projects that use Integrating the
+Healthcare Enterprise (IHE.net) profiles as the set of fundamental
+requirements. The core set of open source projects under OpenExchange
+include OpenPIXPDQ, OpenXDS (with XCA), OpenATNA and OpenAuth.
+
+OpenXDS, as a child project of OpenExchange, implements the Document
+Repository and Document Registry actors of the Cross-Enterprise Document
+Sharing (XDS) profile and the Initiating Gateway and Responding Gateway
+actors of the Cross Community Access (XCA)profile specified by IHE.
+
+
+Contributors
+------------
+The OpenExchange (OpenATNA, OpenAuth, OpenPIXPDQ and OpenXDS) developement
+has been led by Misys Open Source Solutions (MOSS) and University of Cardiff.
+Other contributors include Sysnet International, Topicus Zorg and a number
+of individuals. OpenXDS also contains software developed by freebXML.org
+and NIST. (ODD support added by Jembi Health Systems)
