I'd agree with Ian here. While both could possibly support AQL, the difference I see is in intent, scope and actual implementation. As Gerard says, 13606's main aim is to communicate between IT-systems and for this, AQL may not be quite as fundamental as it is to openEHR.

Hi Bert, "I would leave it with: AQL is an archetype bound query language, and every system which is build on archetypes is able to implement AQL." That is fair enough but we were asked to characterise the differences between 13606 and openEHR and I am comfortable that the actual and formal adoption of AQL is one of those differences. AQL is on the openEHR specifications roadmap but AFAIK this is not the case for 13606. Of course that does not stop 13606 vendors implementing AQL but in terms of actual differences between the 2 communities the adoption, or intention to adopt AQL seems (from the outside) somewhat different both at a practical and formal level. Although AQL adoption in the openEHR community is far from universal, most of the vendors/developers that I have spoken to see it as something they want to implement, particularly as GDL is somewhat dependent on AQL. I am just trying to ascertain if there is similar enthusiasm/intention amongst 13606 vendors, or if AQL forms part of the current 13606 refresh discussions.
