probably it should be pointed out that such 'comparators' do already exist, but within EHR systems rather than as standalone tools; the component is usually known as an 'openEHR kernel' in this context. We need also to be aware of the abstract model of such tools, which currently is that data is always validated against an openEHR Template which in turn references one or more openEHR Archetypes and potentially also Terminology subsets. This means that at a minimum, Templates, Archetypes and Terminology Subsets as technical artefacts must be accessible to such tools. In a systems context, these are available from various services. In a standalone tool context, at a minimum, they should be available from within something like a recognised file system directory structure. Standalone versions could be built; it would be interesting to know what your ideal specification of such a tool is, i.e. does it operate like a typical unix tool that just reads files? - thomas beale
