Hello everyone Further to Thomas' comment about generating the XSD from a template and through this, suitable data structures in "any" language and in relation to Olof's question, i think that if the focus is the GUI and the presentation of data and information, then the application can simply be a mock up.
It would be demonstrating the different novel ways the specific openEHR data structures can be manipulated through the device but it would not have to actually do any calls to an openEHR server (or, it could use local storage, again for limited demo purposes) I hope this helps.
