Dear all,

If openEHR wants to be really interoperable, it must have a mechanism to handle 
OIDs. Billions of specifications and standards in health informatics are 
deploying OIDS.
Comparing them with the plague, probably in analogy with viruses and worms, 
does not help to solve issues.
How for instance would you be able to exchange SNOMEDCT based coded data e.g. 
In an HL7 v3 CDA that is populated with archetypes and requires SNOMEDCT being 
identified with its OID. Here in the Netherlands we run 200.000.000 v3 messages 
a year through the national switchboard and minimum 250.000 annually for the 
perinatal registry.
One single message instance contains usually between 10 and 1200 single data 
elements, each with a minimum of one OID. If openEHR wants to play some role in 
this, handle OIDs so that communication partners can understand you.

Such decisions should be based on rational underpinnings, not on biased 
preference.

> Hi Thomas,
> Your statement that the use of HIER_OBJECT_ID in the AOM1.4 spec is used for 
> OIDs is incorrect. HIER_OBJECT_ID is a complex type with a value attribute of 
> type UID, which may be either UUID, ISO_OID or INTERNET_ID.
> 
> The bigger issue is the HIER_OBJECT_ID is incompatible with UUID from a XML 
> schema perspective as UUID is a simple type with a restricted string value 
> while HIER_OBJECT_ID is a complex type with a child element value. The V1.4 
> AOM XML schema uses this HIER_OBJECT_ID type (as per the AOM specification) 
> and since the OPT schema inherits this model, it also uses this type and all 
> OPTs generated by CKM (and the template designer) populate the uid element 
> with the template GUID specified in the OET file.
> 
> I suggest that the ADL 2 specification is that one that needs to change or 
> there needs to be a specified mapping between the two.
