Hi, I'm checking the datatypes specs doing some modeling tests on the
archetype editor.

In the specs, the "integer fraction" proportion kind means the
representation of the fraction 3/2 should be 1 1/2.

http://www.openehr.org/releases/RM/Release-1.0.3/docs/data_types/data_types.html#_proportion_kind_class

Semantically I think this is not on the same level as the other "proportion
kinds", since it doesn't represent a kind, but a format, where the same
values can be recorded as numerator (3) and denominator (2) with proportion
kind "fraction" and will mean the same thing. IMO "integer fraction"
doesn't even change the meaning or interpretation of the fraction, while
other "proportion kinds" do.

My question is if the "integer fraction" really belongs to a "proportion
kind" or should be somewhere else on the specs? I guess this tried to solve
a use case and it was a shorthand to represent this format as a proportion
kind.


Thanks,
Pablo.
