Thanks Grahame, that's a good clear summary. We certainly look forward
to ways of working with the Eclipse effort in the future - I agree that
the 'pros' you list should be attainable at some point; the concrete
nature of the costs will become more evident as time goes on.
I know that some people within the NHS CUI group are absolutely committed to a Java version. We are hoping to work with the team to do a full open source .Net implementation of the controls which should be a good basis for the Java work.
I hope someone from that work contacts you via this email but if not let me know.
I am not 100% certain on this but after a conversation with some people
inside the NHS NPfiT program it does seem that the CUI documentation
maybe licensed in such a way as to not allow for open implementation.
This probably needs more legal research before we go off adopting
it. ???
I have noticed the ‘archetype a day’ page on the wiki but apparently it didnt move on to the rest of the community. Or was it invitation-only?
I think a periodic webcast might help too for the openehr (just as other communities do eg eclipse, UMLS, etc)
… maybe its funding issues?
I noticed that most of the archetypes on the site are in 1.0
I will like to ask: is there any plan to re-edit the archetypes in adl 1.0 to 2.0.? Or does the cost outweigh the benefits?
The AOM, internal model of archetypes is 2.0, and so the XML is conformant to this. ADL in use is 1.4 which copes with everything but is a little arcane in some respects. So the XML schema is AOM 2.0 if you want something to get your head around.
