Take care of a big caveat please: all health information systems start and
end with the human being. We should use the IT support that Thomas suggests
where possible, but.... to the extend that humans cannot make mistakes. And
the governance of archetypes / DCMs / valuesets / etc does require human
intervention and hence human understanding. So naming conventions are
important and are a different beast than the versioning of the file /
content. 
Thomas' trick with the software reading the meta information is fine for one
specific purpose eg a record handling 100 archetypes or a composition of 88
DCMs. However, what if that same system must do this for all 100 archetypes
for 25 - 100 diseases per specialty, with 30 specialties (100 x 25 x 30) and
allowing all kinds of combinations so x n. Beside the safety and quality
also performance comes into the picture. And I am not speaking yet of each
use of these combinations, e.g. for screens / data entry, storage,
communication, querying, aggregation, decision support etc. 

All the best,

William Goossen

well that's normal - that's on download - the file has to be called
something ;-)

well, as mentioned before, filenames don't matter, but of course when a tool
generates a file, it should use an obvious name, something related to the
id. And you are right - ':' won't work on Windows (we'll never stop cursing
the stupid Windows directory and file-naming will we....). 
So it will need to be something else, maybe just using the '-' 
character. So for that reason, we had better add a file-system friendly
variant of the full id...

I'll repeat to make it very clear to everyone: tools shouldn't care what the
filenames, are, they're only there for humans to understand, e.g. if
emailing a file manually. Tools should all do what the AE, TD and AWB do
today: look in a configured directory (tree) for .adl or .adls files, and
read the first couple of non-comment lines to get the meta-data. In the AWB
at least I do this in a 'fast parse' phase, with a dumb mini-parser that
reads file headers. It never looks at the file names at all - every filename
that matches the regex '.*\.adl' or '.*\.adls' is matched.

Thank you for kind explanation.
I was afraid about conflict of file name and file name conversion between
OSs, but it looks no matter.

Hi Shinji,

It is a fair question. I do think Bert makes a good case for moving away
from filenames that are a copy of the archetypeId, and I also think that any
file naming patterns should be advisory rather than compulsory. I don't
think I would want to carry the namespace in a human readable file name.

Ian
