David, Pass_through has no relevance to this emphasis concept in any way. It has been a means to collapse container attributes such as items when the hierarchical structure inherited from the RM or Archetype is no longer desired or relevant in a template perhaps because sibling items in a cluster or multiplicity has been constrained.
Heath From: openehr-technical-boun...@openehr.org [mailto:openehr-technical-bounces at openehr.org] On Behalf Of David Moner Sent: Thursday, 26 January 2012 9:16 AM To: For openEHR technical discussions Subject: Re: pass_through attribute in ADL 1.5 2012/1/25 Thomas Beale <thomas.beale at oceaninformatics.com> Maybe another way of understanding this flag is as 'this node can be skipped without loss of meaning'. I would be very interested to know if we should make AQL queries sensitive to this flag. Has anyone thought about that? In this sense I can see the reason for this attribute, since it can be understood as part of the documentation of the clinical model. But definitely it is not clearly described at the specs since there it seems to be linked to the presentation template only. I fact, there is a similar attribute in EN13606 ITEM class, but used in an opposite sense. The attribute is "emphasis" and it is described as "A way of denoting that the composer wished to mark this ITEM as being of particular note (an unusual measurement value, an unexpected outcome, anything that might be considered necessary to highlight to a future reader)." I have never thought about this. I don't know if this kind of annotations ("this item is important or clinically relevant or not") better fits as part of the RM or part of the AOM. In other words, if this marker is related to a specific data instance or to a data item definition in an archetype.
