Horst, The questions are : 1) How will the new HL7 differ from the old HL7? 2) How will OpenEHR and OIO be different from the old and new HL7? ... > - but in one aspect they haven't learned from their past errors, and I > consider this non-learning a gloomy sign: that is, they don't publish > their work freely. I suspect the new HL7 does not consider "non-free" to be the cause of previous HL7 failure(s). Based on the focus of their new work, it appears they must have concluded that their failure(s) came from an insufficiently comprehensive reference model. :-) ... Best regards, Andrew --- Andrew P.
