Webservices/databases, everything is possible.
My problem is in the interface itself, which seems to me not sufficient, but maybe I misunderstand, that is why I ask. Because the interfaces speak of codes (in codesetaccess and terminologyaccess), presented in codephrases. I don't know how to understand this. How can I present f.e. a description with a code, when only the code itself is presented in the interface in codephrase-form? if it was in codedtext, I would be possible to add termmapping which would be something more, but even in codedtext it is not possible to add a description. So my guess is that there has to be something more. As you can see, I am confused here. Maybe this is not specified on purpose? I don't know. I imagine the use of terminology access as following: f.e. filling a listbox in an application, presenting codes and accompanying descriptions so the user can choose his code. But this does not seem possible with the currently terminologyaccess interface. But again, thanks for your reply, and if you, or someone else can explain where I can find additional specs, or can give explanations I am very grateful Bert _______________________________________________ openEHR-technical mailing list openEHR-technical at openehr.org http://www.chime.ucl.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/openehr-technical
