I was inquiring about the audit trail capabilities intended to be incorporated in v1.0 of openEHR and Sam was very graciously trying to enlighten me. His commment re: HTML made me expand the question to extracts. I'm not sure I was sufficiently clear about my line of questioning, and comments by others make me wonder whether or not I should take this off-line. I am specifically trying to ascertain the applicability of openEHR to the emerging requirements here in the U.S. and do not wish to infringe on the group's bandwidth if there is a less intrusive way to handle my questions. Please let me know how you'd like me to proceed. And thank you all for your patience to date. Best regards, Bill - If you have any questions about using this list, please send a message to d.lloyd at openehr.org
