Yes...sort of. A) There is our Message Validator file maintenance app. This uses a combo of XPath assertions & XSLT files to validate an incoming message right from http header down to the most inner layer of the message onion (i.e. through SOAP, EBXML, CDA etc) One obvious missing part is OpenEHR validation etc & I'm looking at that. B) I have looked long & hard at some sort of "give me a template/archetype & I'll create an XForm for it".xslt..... The fun parts are: A) Datatypes B) Subsidiarity - i.e.given choice, reuse etc the relevant XForm should exist at (be a node under??) the relevant file e.g. every archetype should have it's own XForm and a linking mechanism allowing it to subsume others from further down the tree. i.e. If I load template A then there should be an XForm for template A. If that template includes Archetype B then there should be a mechanism to simply bring in the relevant Archetype B XForm much as one would bring in Archetype B. i.e. ....."Here's a model (Archetype/Template etc)....&...here's it's view" This would allow the steady creation of parts connected to specific things much like that suggested wrt "widgets" http://www.openehr.org/wiki/display/dev/Data+type+widgets e.g. you might (hopefully will) have a specific set of XForm-OpenEHR Datatype "widgets". Oddly enough..........right from the start I designed XMLProcess with the concept of the "virtual document" aka the "PacMan principle" (Pacman can only eat what's in front of him). i.e. the formation of "an" XForm from many constituent parts much as a Portal/Portlet might As per something like http://internet-apps.blogspot.com/2006/08/using-subforms-in-xforms.html e.g. going & getting specific pieces for specific needs, right from "I need a form for Template A" to then "it contains 1...n Archetype B thus I need a muli-record layout where each line contains the XForm/fragment for Archetype B" to then "Archetype B contains a DV_DURATION I need to go & grab the DV_DURATION XForm/fragment from the Datatypes_XForms_Fragments.xml" > I somehow (probably due to wishful thinking) got the impression that > the tool could be used for converting templates and archetypes to > xforms-based entry forms running in Chiba or something similar, but I > can't find anything near that when looking at the tool. > > Not yet. It is a matter of writing the XSLT (to autogenerate a fragment/XForm) & finalizing the inclusion mechanism. > Could you please help me sort things out regarding how "xmlprocess" > relates to openEHR? > > Per se it doesn't. As the name suggests it is about creating rich forms for editing XML rapidly & easily. Right now the main limiting factor is time & instability wrt the "operational templates etc".
