Dear colleagues, there is a proposed revision of the Archetype Definition Language (ADL) v 1.2 available at http://www.openehr.org/tmp/adl-1_2_draft_d.pdf. Only small changes to ADL itself are proposed, but the explanations have been improved, and complete grammars have been included in the document. The main change is a complete redesign of the object models corresponding to ADL, informed by previous work in GEHR, ongoing archetype development, and the DSTC team engaged on the HealthConnect project in Brisbane, Australia.
This proposal will be reviewed in the proper fashion by the openEHR ARB, but of course we welcome community review and input on this discussion list. The software (sorry, only on Windows so far) which implements this specification is at http://www.openehr.org/repositories/implem/latest/publishing/tools/windows/index.html. Please read the READMEs first if you intend using it. We are still working on the packaging and use instructions, so please be patient, and of course post any complaints about difficulties you encounter. As I'm sure many of you appreciate, perfect packaging takes time and effort, and requires user feedback. regards, - thomas beale - If you have any questions about using this list, please send a message to d.lloyd at openehr.org
