In CIMI, there are now some thousands of archetypes, 90% converted from
Intermountain CEMs. We can start converting openEHR archetypes to CIMI
form as well, for contribution to CIMI. To provide traceability, we
probably are going to need a new meta-data item where some information
about model conversion/import can be represented. In the current CIMI
generated archetypes (not the reference ones), it could be information like:
"converted with IHCModelConverter v3.134.0.78, on 12-10-2014 at
Intermountain Healthcare, UT"
or
" converted with ADL Workbench v2.0.5.2345, on 03-11-2014T12:05:00 for
openEHR Foundation"
or similar, so that conversion errors can be traced to tools, and also
to simply indicate that the archetype was machine converted. Note that
there is already an 'is_generated' flag in an archetype. So that when an
archetype is imported this is True, but later CIMI authors may start
manually modifying it, then it is set to False. That way you can tell if
the archetype is still being imported or not. So the meta-data for this
purpose might be something like:
import_details = <
original_source = <"Intermountain model xyz avalable at <URL>">
time = <2014-10-12T12:44:00>
method = <"IHCModelConverter v3.134.0.78">
other_details = < > -- tagged values
>
thoughts on this?
