I noticed the recent version of the REST api  only works with templates, and 
not archetypes.

As our EHR is ADL 2 only, this has some interesting consequences.

Of course, you can upload just the operational templates and probably create a 
fully functional EHR, but if you work with ADL 2, you would always need an 
external tool to create the OPT2 from the ADL repository that you want to use, 
instead of an EHR that generates the OPT2s from the source archetypes itself. 
Of course, you could just use the ADL workbench or the Archie adlchecker 
command-line utility to do it for you, but I’m not sure if it’s a nice thing to 
do.

Also if you only use OPT2, you might want to do queries such as ‘retrieve all 
information that is stored in an EHR that has been derived from archetype with 
id X, including archetypes specializing from X’ (not just operational template 
X). An example: retrieve all reports, or all care plans, regardless of the used 
template. To do that, you probably need a specialization section in the OPT2, 
which according to the specs should have been removed, and you also need to 
create operational templates for archetypes that you never use to directly 
create compositions from. Or the tool querying the EHR must be fully aware of 
the full archetype specialization tree and use that to create a query with all 
specializing archetypes included in the query.

So, is it intended that the REST API only works with operational templates, and 
never archetypes?

Subject: openEHR REST APIs - Release 0.9.0 / invitation for comments


The REST API Team (Bostjan Lah, Erik Sundvall, Sebastian Iancu, Heath Frankel, 
Pablo Pazos, and others on the 
SEC<https://www.openehr.org/programs/specification/editorialcommittee> and 
elsewhere) have made a 0.9.0 Release of the ITS (Implementation Technology 
Specifications) component, in order to make a pre-1.0.0 release of the REST 
APIs available for wider comment.

The key point about this current release is that it is meant to be a 'core 
basics' foundation of APIs to build on, and some services like CDS, and more 
sophisticated querying (e.g. that Erik Sundvall has published in the past) will 
be added over time.

NOTE THAT IN THE 0.9.0 RELEASE, BREAKING CHANGES ARE POSSIBLE.

You can see the ITS Release 0.9.0 link 
here<https://www.openehr.org/programs/specification/latestreleases>, while the 
links you see on the specs 'working baseline' 
page<https://www.openehr.org/programs/specification/workingbaseline> are the 
result of 0.9.0 plus any modifications made due to feedback. The .apib files 
are here in 
Github<https://github.com/openEHR/specifications-ITS/tree/master/REST_API> (see 
mainly the includes directory).

We are aiming to release 1.0.0 at the end of February, at which point the 
formal process kicks in.

Since we are in Release 0.9.0, the formal PR/CR process is not needed, and you 
can comment here. However, if you want to raise a PR you can, in which case, 
please set the Component and Affects Version fields appropriately:
