Hi,
At the Term_definition section of the ADL specifications (1.4 and 1.5), we
can read that "Each term is defined using a structure of name/value pairs,
and must at least include the names ?text? and ?description?, which are
akin to the usual rubric, and full definition found in terminologies like
SNOMED-CT".
Although being in essence true, we can find examples where de description
part is not needed. For example, at
the openEHR-EHR-OBSERVATION.lab_test-histopathology.v1, we can see:
["at0074"] = <
text = <"Aborted">
description = <"*">
>
The "*" is the default value inserted by the archetype editor. Shouldn't
have more sense to make description a not mandatory field? For very simple
data items probably it will not be needed. This also applies to the
constraint_definition that follows the same structure.
