Hi All, I have watched this thread with great interest. My first question is; Why?
Why is there such an interest in developing a specific persistence layer API for openEHR? I think that this is an area where we should encourage many implementations to follow their own ideas and then we can discover which works best for this type of information. Some may believe that the Node + Path approach on the wiki is right, others may select an XML database like eXist. My Python implementation will use a native object database. The *important* thing is that they all be able to respond to EHR Queries. IMHO the thing that we need to examine and discuss is the completeness and correctness of EQL. So maybe what Bert is advocating is discussion of a persistence model for his Java implementation?
