We need to test conformance against an implementable specification. In general the standard will be the most generic stable point of reference. But in reality we all know that reality and experience evolve faster than any standardisation organisation is able to cope with. For all practical purposes OpenEHR is the fast track, quick response, organisation taking care of a version of an implementable specification. In the case of CEN13606 part 1 conformance testing should be done using the OpenEHR specification (the CEN Extract part) In the case of CEN13606 part 2 conformance testing should be done using a designated version of the OpenEHR ADL specification. It will be up to OpenEHR, the user community and possibly others (like governments) to decide when to correct, amend and update the standards. > Andrew > _______________________________________________ > openEHR-technical mailing list > openEHR-technical at openehr.org > http://www.chime.ucl.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/openehr-technical -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
