Hi Erik Can you tell me what search capabilities you want in CKM that are not there. You can export a prot?g? ontology, all the archetypes and have all the search power we have thought of from the asset management platform. Unsearchable seems a little unfair. Cheers, Sam -Original

Why ISM_TRANSITION of an ACTION is mandatory?

Hi Pablo The resulting state of the activity (even if there is no instruction) needs to be recorded for information to work in a distributed environment. When you record an action the computer needs to know whether it is complete or not in relation to any instruction (recorded or not). If you are

Modeling reference ranges

2009-10-13 Thread Sam Heard
Hi Pablo The issue is that you do not see the reference model attributes in the archetype editor. A Quantity data type has a normal range and other reference ranges built in. We do not set the reference ranges in archetypes as these vary and archetypes are the absolute statement about things

Hi everyone There are a lot of technical people who have volunteered as reviewers on CKM and we have had major input from a number of them. There will be more issues that arise when we have the first set of archetypes for publication to ensure consistency. There is no doubt that we all benefit

Hi Tom Another very thoughtful document. I have been involved to some degree in the discussion of this area over the years as have many others prior to this draft release. http://www.openehr.org/svn/specification/TRUNK/publishing/architecture/am/di st_dev_model.pdf This document suggests

[Fwd: [JIRA] Created: (SPEC-302) Translations embedded in the ADL are not efficient and should instead use 'gettext' catalogs.]

2009-05-20 Thread Sam Heard
Hi All I think I have said it before but I think we need to see this managed at the publication level. CKM currently stores translations as distinct assets. This has a number of advantages: 1) Translations can be added, reviewed, accredited asynchronously for the same archetype 2)

2009-05-04 Thread Sam Heard
Hi Tim I am keen, as some others have said, that CKM manages this with users being able to get as many translations as they need when they download the archetype. The advantage with the approach is that you do not need the source language to translate using the archetype so you do not need to

Archetype-triggered events for CDSS

Hi Pariya We were really saying that it is possible to write AQL statements (or Xpath) against archetypes to test if the last bp.systolic 140 mmHg for instance. This is due to the fact that the archetype makes it quite straightforward to ask such questions. A number of recent posts have

Why is the editor not opening ADL files?

2009-03-16 Thread Sam Heard
Hi William I think this may have been answered elsewhere. The reference model for this archetype is the openEHR demographic model and it is starting to get some interest. It is still a research work in progress. These archetypes where hand built to illustrate ADL working with another model.
