sam.heard signatureOops, Ian and Sam, looks like I misinterpreted Ian's question. I retract my earlier reply
Yes, this is an interesting question Ian! - Peter From: Sam Heard Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2008 8:00 AM To: For openEHR technical discussions Cc: Peter Gummer Subject: Re: Release 1.0.2 change - SPEC-260 - Correct the regex publishedforthe ARCHETYPE_ID type (due date 304/Aug/08) Hi Ian >From the spec, a specialised archetype knows what its parent is. If we specify >a specialised archetype then we know what parent we are talking about. What you are suggesting is that we take all specialisations of a particular parent which cannot be determined from the ID at the moment and asking should this be in the ID? The answer has to be that the specialised archetype must be a specialisation of the parent and for the moment that means looking inside the archetype (ie the regex is not sufficient in itself to guarantee that the parent is not another version). Worth the techies getting their heads around. Cheers, Sam Ian.McNicoll at oceaninformatics.com wrote: While you are looking at the regex rules, could you revisit the way that 'any specialisation of' is handled with respect to version numbers? The current version of the regex allows symptom.v1* eg symptom-pain.v1 wheras the v1 should probably refer to the parent. Do we need to consider versioning for both parent and specialisation?
