Hi Diego,

That sounds like a sensible solution – does that mean it will need to be 
represented with a different statement/grammar? What changes are necessary to 
accommodate these kind of assertions? Sorry I’m not familiar with this.

Cheers,

Probably these kinds of constraints should be assertions instead. This would 
allow to constrain both the attributes and define assertions on the functions.

<[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>:
We have been through this a long time ago I think, with Koray having the exact 
question and opinion I had.

The downside if you don't allow this kind of constraint(!) on functional 
attributes in archetypes, here you cannot constrain the other two (real) 
attributes when modelling an archetype either because they depend on the actual 
time when documenting data and thus you don’t really have a way of constraining 
it at all.

How to actually handle this generically when you receive actual attribute 
values that are approximately correct, but not - say – to the second, seems 
problematic though as Heath has just said.
You can hardly reject an APGAR 5 min score because it was documented to be 
taken after 5 min and 2 seconds (who knows it that exact anyway!).
In other archetypes, a difference of a few seconds may of course be very 
significant.

Maybe all this is an indication that (some) fixed events like the ones in the 
APGAR archetype should be modelled differently - e.g. a repeated Cluster with 
an explicit time element (or a coded text with its values tied to the 
respective Snomed codes, something like this (even if it seems less elegant). 
And then avoid constraining the offset.
To me it is not too helpful to formally constrain the offset without also 
_formally_ defining what the base line (origin) is (=the time of birth). This 
is just indicated in the purpose of the archetype.
Since you cannot really easily do this, I don’t see much value in modelling 
this by constraining the offset. And there aren’t many other example where the 
offset is constrained in archetypes I have seen. Defining the precedence of 
time and offset would be another way as Koray says.

By the way, EVENT/Offset is actually not the only functional attribute that I 
have seen constrained:

•         is_integral for a DV_PROPORTION or

•         type for a PARTY_RELATIONSHIP (here type==name, which makes it a bit 
easier)

are others, but they are probably easier to manage than the offset.

We used to have a check in CKM to at least inform about these “commonly 
constrained functional properties” as we called them, but took it out, because 
it was too confusing.

Cheers
Sebastian

Does our opt validator validate a data instance against this? Yes.
It causes all sorts of problems in scenarios like apgar when event times are 
real rather than derived from the origin and this constraint.

Thanks Heath,

That makes sense. Does OceanEHR validate the constraint?

Hi Koray,
This is a constraint on the value that origin function returns rather than 
indicating it is a settable attribute. This was how Sam defined the events on 
an apgar score, 1 min, 5 min, etc.

Heath

Hi Koray,

I agree - can you create a JIRA PR at ...

Hi,

We noted it is possible to set values from AE/TD to a RM attribute named 
“offset”
In the 
specs<http://www.openehr.org/releases/RM/Release-1.0.3/docs/data_structures/data_structures.html#_event_class>
 (looked at >1.0.1) it is not a regular attribute but a function which returns 
a computed value using diff HISTORY.origin and EVENT.time
Note that this diff can also be a negative value – which doesn’t seem to be 
supported by AE/TD or in instance data

An example ADL:

POINT_EVENT[at0002] occurrences matches {0..*} matches {        -- Any event
               offset matches {
                              DV_DURATION matches {
                                             value matches {|PT0.125S|}
                              }
               }

Isn’t this weird?
I would expect this to return a value if a valid ISO8601 time has been entered 
for both HISTORY.origin and EVENT.time but not set as an attribute directly.

Cheers,

-koray
