Hi,
My personal thoughts are: This discussion is trivial. CEN decided to: - renew the ENV 13606 - use the two model approach - produce a standard that can be used to produce: messages, documents and implementable objects My preference is the platinum model :-) But I go for the gold one. And as long as we can show that one is able to map to the silver one or the bronze one, I see no problem. Mapping means that we are able to produce an Archetype that fulfils the requirements of all those models. A consequence of the decision taken by CEN is that the Kernel (including the data types) plus the Archetype model must be stable and as complete as possible. The various degrees of granularity (that equals the number of concepts and equals the number of archetypes and complexity of it) will be outside of the control of the standardisation organisation. It will be in the hands of the domain experts/user communities. Each user community that wants to exchange information will use the Kernel and Archetype Model plus the set of agreed archetypes it needs to use. So we must provide all proponents of the bronze and silver options archetypes that fulfil their requirements. My option is the Patinum one ;-) Gerard Ps: A likewise argument can be made for the data type problem. We have the PT41 proposal, the HL7 one and the OpenEHR one. Possibly we have to show that all three are mappable and therefore equally correct and interchangeable.
