ADL Workbench - beta 7 release

Technical (archive)
1

There is a new beta of the ADL Workbench available here; release notes here. This will be the final release before editing is enabled. The main improvements in this release are to the archetype definition visualiser, which is now a grid. The following shows a typical view.

Reference model properties are now classified in the RM schemas, and can be progressively shown in the UI, where they are colour coded. These are of three kinds:

  • Data Properties: properties from the reference model that are part of the clinical data, and could be archetyped;
  • Runtime Properties: properties from the reference model whose values are set at runtime, and for which no useful constraint could be set in an archetype (includes all dates and times);
  • Infrastructure Properties: properties from the reference model that do not represent clinical data, but are used to manage data representation, identification, versioning etc

This means you can now see the total data picture, with archetyped elements compressed through inheritance onto the RM. See here for more details.

Other useful improvements include additions to the context menu of archetype nodes.

Do you plan to build Linux binaries? BTW: The 32 bit (beta-5) also runs on 64 bit machines (Ubuntu 11.04 Intel Duo Core2)

Hi Tim,

There's a Linux build up there now, as well as a build for Mac OS X Lion.

Hi Peter,

I get this error when trying to run the OS X Lion build:

29-06-12 10:35:59,226 [0x0-0x169169].org.openehr.adl_workbench: dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libXtst.6.dylib

Isn’t that a library for the previous OS X 10.6?

Cheers,

Roger

cool ... I didn't realise anyone was using it. One of the things that we know from experience may happen is various GUI anomalies due to the mapping of the GUI classes to GTK on Linux & Mac (i.e. the mapping to the Windows native UI layer is not the same obviously, and I test on that). I don't have time to do all the exhaustive testing on those platforms, and probably Peter does't either (although he usually knows how to correct for such problems). Anyway, if you find such problems...

  * report it on the Jira tracker -
    http://www.openehr.org/issues/browse/AWBPR/
  * put the 'component' as 'user interface'

thanks

Uh, it is the best analysis tool available.

Sure.
