New archetype language
Dear colleagues,
over the last six months or so, Ocean Informatics has been working on a
new language for expressing archetypes - Archetype Definition Language.
This is an evolution of the formalism presented at the HL7 WGM in
Cleveland in May this year, and at the CEN TC251 meeting in Oslo a few
weeks later.
The work to date has been posted at
http://www.oceaninformatics.biz/adl.html. The page includes a detailed
manual describing the language, some example archetypes written in ADL,
some of which have been parsed and serialised back out to HTML form. A
basic ADL parser is also available from the page, which will parse new
archetypes written by hand.
The intention is to get feedback on the language in order to improve it,
which initially can be done by discussion on the openEHR technical
discussion list. After a suitable period, when feedback has been
incorporated, the IP of the language, documentation, example archetypes
and software will be turned over to the openEHR Foundation.
For those who just want to know what ADL looks like, here is an example
serialised as HTML: http://www.oceaninformatics.biz/adl.html
For those interested in HL7v3, we have done an initial draft in ADL of
the ballot 4 RMIM for Lab Observation:
http://www.oceaninformatics.biz/adl/repository/archetypes/hl7/Laboratory/hl7.hl7-rim-observation.observation.v1.adl
Feedback and comments welcome.
