They probably don't. But there are soe things that we need to establish, e.g.: - that if content in the form of a PDF is sent to an openEHR system, it is not lost, and it is accessible in the same way for all opeEHR systems - that if a set of standard HL7v2 messages (e.g. as used in Australia) are received, they are correctly processed into openEHR content. Any given system might not provide such functionality, but if it does, there will need to be some conformance criteria. - thomas
