from the spec:

[[
A QCR allows clients to obtain an X.509 certificate, which in
turn will be used to secure messages, especially for Web services request and
response.

[snip]

This document only covers identifying parties in NEHTA specifications that use
the XML format to represent data. In particular, this includes data in NEHTA
Web services specifications.

The interesting thing is that they think of referring to PEM files, the weird thing is that they have a bunch of URLs for different protocol types it seems

   http://ns.nehta.gov.au/Qcr/Ref/Http/1.0

is for certificate types which one can get using HTTP

  http://www.healthcare.com.au/pki/clinic234.cer

and
  
  http://ns.nehta.gov.au/Qcr/Ref/Ldap/1.0

is for certificates which one can get using ldap

  ldap://ldap.healthcare.com.au:6666/cn=RP%20gp2%20org%20

RP%20gp2%20org,o=RP%20gp2%20org,l=TUGGERANONG,st=ACT,c=AU

This looks like over the top modelling to me, something that
often happens - and in the semweb space too - to beginners.
