I must say, good news, it is possible to work with the
Archetype\-editors, although there still are some quirks\.

I like the Swedisch ArcehtypeEditor because of the \(kind of\) debugging
facility
And I like the Workbench,b ecause it gives a lot of flexibility\.

It is too bad, that both do not seem to have \(completely\) the same
syntax\-ideas, although, they match for over 99%\.

I found some problems:

The Swedish editor does not want
language
    original\_language = <\[ISO\_639\-1::en\]>
and
    language = <\[ISO\_639\-1::en\]>

in the header part, and
it wants to add

    primary\_language = <"en">
    languages\_available = <"en", \.\.\.>

in the ontology part, for the rest, they sem both to accept the same syntax

Just wanted to say that, good editors are very important\. And good error
ahndling is very nice, don't shoot the archetype because of a small
error, try to be tolerant\. \(it asks a lot of programmers\.\)

There is another problem with the workbench, it "takes" without my
permission, the ADL\-file\-extension, and then fails to start if I
doubleclick on an ADL\-file, with message:
Cannot run: 'icons' directory missing
Hit any key to exit application

I must regret, the Ocean ArchetypoEditor fails to open an Archetype
which opens without problem in the Workbench\.
I also does not handle the error, but generates an Exception and remains
after that in an undefined condition\.

The exception text, and debug trace is \(maybe this helps to tackle the
problem\)

\(in between, I say, there is much improvement, which is very helpful for
my work\)

Hi Bert,

Thanks for your comments\. I think I must update the ADLSerializer
component so it doesn't output the language attributes in the ontology
section\. Could you provide an example ADL which contains a language
section that fails to open? I guess the ADL parser expects another
kind of syntax or something \(Rong?\)\. Are you using the latest version
of the LiU Archetype Editor?

That's all I have for the moment\. I will get back to these issues when
I return from my vacation in France\.

Regards,

Mattias

Ah, la vie en rose\!\!
I am using 0\.5\.1 \(I believe this is the latest version?\)

I constructed an archetype by myself, or rebuild an old one, because I
needed it for testing purposes\.

I send it later today to your email, because I don't know if the
mailinglist accepts attachements, which mostly is not\.

The latest version is 0\.5\.2\. see :http://www.imt.liu.se/mi/ehr/

A lot of parsing/serialising changes were done since 0\.5\.2\.
Could you please check how many of the problems remain in 0\.5\.2 and report back?

Best regards,

The problems seem to be gone\. But there is another thing, that happens
occasionally, and I don't know what it means, it is the error message:
"No valid structure '18' for type name 'SECTION'\!"

Maybe there is an error in the ADL\-file, it ispossible, but the
errormessage is hard to understand
