For those interested, [here is a reasonable draft of the Subject Proxy Service](https://specifications.openehr.org/releases/SM/latest/openehr_platform.html#_subject_proxy_service), which provides a way to obtain values for subject variables (e.g. date of birth, diabetic status) from back-end systems.

It corresponds to the blue part (bottom left) of this [conceptual architecture](https://specifications.openehr.org/releases/PROC/latest/overview.html#_conceptual_framework).
