and more!, may be the validValue() method of CDomainType has to be in the LeafContraint class, because if you want to validate primitive data, the CPrimitiveObject class dont have a validValue() method. If validValue() is in LeafConstraint then both CPrimitiveObject and CDomainType inherit validValue().
Pablo Pazos NIB ----- Original Message ----- From: Rodrigo Filgueira To: openehr-technical at openehr.org Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2006 12:19 PM Subject: C_PRIMITIVE and C_DOMAIN_TYPE Should C_DOMAIN_TYPE classes be defined based (using) on C_PRIMITIVE? and more, are any of the C_PRIMITIVE classes used directly as a constraint to an archetype element? these questions refer to the fact that string or integers by themselves do not have any semantic meaning, they acquire meaning inside DATA_VALUE instances, do they not? So as we advance in using and understanding AM we find that more classes may be needed in the PROFILE package in order to validate DATA_VALUES. just thoughts, and doubts, we are trying to understand the model, and how it is used. If you could tell us how you use it, I believe it would be very helpful. thank you ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rodrigo Filgueira Asistente Docente/Investigador N?cleo de Ingenier?a Biom?dica, FING - UDELAR -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
