Hi Thomas, thanks for your attention.

I experienced the problems with the Ocean Archetype Editor and The LinkEhr
editor when used in the same work-environment, for example, which causes
archetypes to be opened in both editors.

It is not difficult to reproduce the errors and inconviences. The issue is
that both, Ocean and LinkEhr, do not recognize their responsibility and do
not see a need to change this.

One problem easy to reproduce, easy, a few steps.

- create an archetype in the LinkEhr editor, most simple, based on Element
with one DataValue. You will see it will have a nodeid on the DataValue.
- open it in the Ocean Editor, as I recall, this is not possible, first you
need to change a few things, forgot what exactly. Small things, but this
should not be. Ok, repair it in a text-editor, open it, and change one
letter in the ontology, and save it.
- The nodeids in the DataValue are removed without notifying the user. The
archetype has changed on other places then was the purpose of the user.

You can do this also the other way around and you will experience also
problems.

The solution is: a good behavior would be that an archetype editor would
conform to the archetype a user loads in it, changing it without
notification is very wrong.
Another solution also needed would be that nodeids on locations where these
are not enforced by the ADL-definition should be optional.

These problems exist for years now, everyone knows about them, If it was my
software, I would comfort my users and customers with friendly solutions.

regards
Bert
