That is what is supported by the openEHR spec, no need to assume. All
EVENTs in HISTORY.data are of the same type ~ have the same definition in
the archetype.

This works with POINT_EVENT, my question is about INTERVAL_EVENT from the
openEHR specs, where each event start and end are different.

By openEHR, the heart rate EVENT is one single measure of the hear rate,
there is no record of individual beats. What would make an INTERVAL_EVENT
from heart rate, is to record the average heart rate in an hour. And a
periodic list of INTERVAL_EVENTs, would be records of the average of the
heart rate that happen periodically. The issue I'm having is the specs
don't have a concrete definition of "period" for INTERVAL_EVENT series.
