The difference with teh GEHR kernel is that it is not creating and validating user input, just doing conversion from feeder systems. If it is doing this using archetypes, it will need to work like the GEHR kernel (which is simply a knowledge/information mediator component - mediating between archetypes and data created); if not, then it can be simpler. - thomas - If you have any questions about using this list, please send a message to d.lloyd at openehr.org - If you have any questions about using this list, please send a message to d.lloyd at openehr.org
