# OpenEHR / ISO 13606 converter **Category:** [Implementers (archive)](https://discourse.openehr.org/c/implementers-archive/158) **Created:** 2009-09-16 11:04 UTC **Views:** 11 **Replies:** 11 **URL:** https://discourse.openehr.org/t/openehr-iso-13606-converter/14931 --- ## Post #1 by @Cati_Martinez Hi, I presented in the MIE conference at the end of August a poster ([http://www.hst.aau.dk/~ska/MIE2009/papers/MIE2009p0260.pdf](http://www.hst.aau.dk/~ska/MIE2009/papers/MIE2009p0260.pdf)) about a ISO 13606 to OpenEHR and vice-versa converter. Some people asked for me to post some information about it. You can try it at: [http://miuras.inf.um.es:9080/PoseacleConverter/](http://miuras.inf.um.es:9080/PoseacleConverter/), there, in the archetypes tab, you can also find OpenEHR archetypes transformed into ISO 13606 and vice-versa. The tool is not perfect, it has many things to improve. However, it is a beginning and an ongoing project. You can also get the semantic representation of the archetype in OWL. Regards. --- ## Post #2 by @system Thanks for sharing this, Cati\! =\) /Rong --- ## Post #3 by @Tim_Cook2 Hi Cati, Thanks for this\. It looks like it can be a very useful tool\. Is the source code available? BTW: My first attempt to use the tool was to upload openEHR\-EHR\-OBSERVATION\.blood\_pressure\.v1\.adl from my local system \(the one released from the CKM\) and convert it to ISO 13606\. The Traceback is below\. Cheers, Tim --- ## Post #4 by @yampeku That archetype won't parse on neither Ocean Archetype Editor nor LinkEHR\-Ed so I would say that this is the expected result Error on Ocean Archetype editor --- ## Post #5 by @Cati_Martinez Hi Tim, the source code is not available at the moment. I tried the blood pressure archetype and the error seems to be in the ADL syntax. I observed that if you delete the comments (-- ) from all the use_node ... lines, it works. The error might come from the OpenEHR java parser.

And Diego Boscá replied: > That archetype won't parse on neither Ocean Archetype Editor \.\.\. I just opened it in the Ocean Archetype Editor with no problem\. I tried with all released versions of it, dating way back to June 2007, as well as with a build from the latest source code\. That archetype definitely works with the Ocean Archetype Editor\. \-\- Peter Gummer --- ## Post #7 by @yampeku 0\.99\.8 is the version I was trying maybe its time to upgrade :\) --- ## Post #8 by @system Hi Cati, Actually the CKM is using the openEHR Java parser\. I wonder if you are using an old version of the same parser\. Regards, Rong --- ## Post #9 by @ian.mcnicoll Hi Diego, CKM uses the 'official' JAVA parser. Perhaps Rong or Sebastian could clarify what might be the issue here? The BP archetype definitely loads happily in CKM and passes some additional validation checks. It also passes the Archetype Workbench validation. I am with Sebastian at a Swedish goverment training workshop - I will ask him if he has any ideas.

If there is a tool about openEHR and 13606 conversion, I'd certainly like to know more about it. Kind regards Seref Ps: The exception you've given seems to be about java trying to find the adl file under a (probably hardcoded) directory in a linux system, running a tomcat container. Maybe the directory permissions do not allow writing to the dir, where you're supposed to put your adl etc etc. I should stop imagining bugs just with a single exception :) --- ## Post #11 by @yampeku This is the mail that Catalina from Murcia University sent to the other lists --- ## Post #12 by @Marcelo_Rodrigues_do Hi all, I also have interest to know more about this converter. Thanks, Marcelo. 2009/9/17 Seref Arikan <[serefarikan@kurumsalteknoloji.com](mailto:serefarikan@kurumsalteknoloji.com)> --- **Canonical:** https://discourse.openehr.org/t/openehr-iso-13606-converter/14931 **Original content:** https://discourse.openehr.org/t/openehr-iso-13606-converter/14931
