Maybe I do not have the knowledge to give a valid clinical example but it is reasonable to think that constraining an archetype in the way a template does can influence the interpretation of the data. Imagine you have a set of archetypes and you define a template constraining some items to not allowed. You use that template to fill some data and then you require the collaboration of a physician from an external organisation. You share the archetypes but not the template. And then the other physician fills some more data (including the one you marked as not allowed) and returns it to you. There is the problem, when you revise the data using again your own template you will never see part of the new data and that can affect your interpretation of it. That's why structural templates must be also shared in some cases. -- David Moner Cano Grupo de Inform?tica Biom?dica - IBIME Instituto ITACA http://www.ibime.upv.es Universidad Polit?cnica de Valencia (UPV) Camino de Vera, s/n, Edificio G-8, Acceso B, 3? planta Valencia ? 46022 (Espa?a)
