The OET files do look easy to use - did your tool create the csv files as well?
I would love to be able to take the NHS templates and auto generate data entry forms for my system - I have a rich client so I would parse the XML and translate to my internal format. Importing and exporting forms into OpenEHR templates as a compatability feature. Another advantage is users could have an alternative template designer that would be possibly more specialized than I have time to create. thanks Greg Boston, MA http://www.patientos.org On 10/23/07, Thomas Beale <thomas.beale at oceaninformatics.com> wrote: > Heath Frankel wrote: > > Greg, > > The XML representation of Archetypes are just as normaitive as ADL, the XML > > (just like ADL using a different syntax) is a serialisation of the Archetype > > Object Model representation of an Archetype. > > > > The OET files are a proprietary template definition used by the Ocean > > Template Designer product.
