I still want to see the glass of water half full: this is in fact a validation and the recognition of an emblematic member of HL7 that the openEHR approach is useful and needed to reach true interoperability, the name (archetype, data element, ...) is not the important part, neither who invented it first, but the use of the same concept is the key.

He told me "everyone want his own standard", that was very sad. Besides that, what I see (and many people on that room that know what is an archetype) is a validation of an important figure on HL7 that archetypes work, do the job, and are necessary for interoperability. So, I think HL7 is very interested on archetypes right now. I hope that soon Mr. Hammond could do a presentation on standarization that show the best of the breed instead of reinventing/renaming the wheel. -- With all respect to Ed (and he deserves a great deal), if in sentences like the one you quoted above you replace 'everyone' with 'HL7', the situation today starts to make more sense. - thomas _______________________________________________ openEHR-clinical mailing list openEHR-clinical at openehr.org http://lists.chime.ucl.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/openehr-clinical -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
