# Formal methods for Evaluation ofInteroperability &Maintainability? **Category:** [Technical (archive)](https://discourse.openehr.org/c/technical-archive/156) **Created:** 2008-02-08 11:33 UTC **Views:** 2 **Replies:** 5 **URL:** https://discourse.openehr.org/t/formal-methods-for-evaluation-ofinteroperability-maintainability/14731 --- ## Post #1 by @Charles_McCay Tom Many thanks for this \-\- are there examples of TDS schemas or instances available? Also are there any example document instances available \-\- particularly for the draft Extract schema, but any instances or instance fragments would be useful\. All the best Charlie Charlie McCay, charlie@RamseySystems\.co\.uk Ramsey Systems Ltd, 23D Dogpole, Shrewsbury, Shropshire SY1 1ES tel \+44 1743 232278 / \+44 7808 570172 skype: charliemccay linkedin:charliemccay --- ## Post #2 by @Hugh_Leslie1 Hi Charlie We have an openEHR repository here with about 20 million compositions in it - how many do you want? :) regards Hugh --- ## Post #3 by @William_E_Hammond Hugh, Can you expand on 20 million of what\. I think htis is an astounding figure\. What is the quality of the compositions? I'd like to have more info if possible\. I think that number ois much more than any of us anticipated\.

Currently it has over 350,000 EHRs (i.e. one persons record) in it and each EHR has about 60 compositions (a composition being one document such as a discharge or a test result). I have to admit that there is some variation in the archetypes and templates used but there is some sameness to the data. So we have a lot of test results, discharge summaries etc. Some are large and some are small. Its viewable over a web application that we call EHRView - not a clinical app, but really just an EHR viewer although you can now capture data through forms built from openEHR templates. We are getting excellent performance in terms of query of this number of EHRs. Happy to take this offline and give you more details if you would like. regards Hugh William E Hammond wrote: --- ## Post #6 by @William_E_Hammond Thanks Hugh for the quick reply\. I think this is an excellent example of what can be achieved\. Are the records real or make\-up? If Make\-up, how were they generated\. I would like to know, if possible, hoe to access and look at these EHRs\.
