As most of you will now know, a set of Demographics Model archetypes which are aligned to the ISO standards, has been uploaded to CKM and we started formally reviewing "Person name" and "Postal address" recently. The results of these reviews will be posted to CKM in the next few days and many thanks to those of you who have already contributed.
We know that there was considerable interest in the ISO-Demographics archetypes earlier in the year but this has not been reflected in the number of people actually performing a formal review. Before publishing these archetypes, we must ensure that the scope, content and structure is acceptable to a broad section of the openEHR community. If you are interested in this area, particularly the ISO standards, please login to CKM www.openehr.org/knowledge and 'Adopt' one or both archetypes. We will be closing off the current review round this week but would anticipate starting the next round shortly - if you have adopted an archetype this will ensure that you are invited to the second review round. The review process need not take long - as a bare minimum all we need is a final Accept/Revise/Decline decision from each reviewer, though obviously we would prefer more detail, particularly if you feel there is an issue with the current archetypes. The feedback so far has been very positive and it is unlikely that the current models will need major discussion or revision but until we great some broad input from potential 'consumers' of the archetypes we cannot be certain that they are 'fit to publish'. Thanks for your interest and potential input. We appreciate that everyone's time is at a premium but any feedback you can give will be most welcome.
