Hi Koray,

Thanks. I missed that rule for numbering specialized nodes, so that's covered and I realize I meant something else

By overlapping I mean, and in that case I shouldn't call it a specialized but actually a locally extended archetype, is the following: for example within the archetype bloodpressure I want to be able to add more parameters than the community currently agrees on (f.i. average home blood pressure value). For the rest I would like to use the standard archetype because it would be silly to reinvent the wheel twice. 

So my point is, if I add these extra parameters, how do I prevent that somewhere in the future we get overlapping AT codes with the official/ root archetype? My suggestion is to let the AT nodes for these extended parameters start with a codenumber of 1000 (of even 10.000) or higher...

Cheers,

Stef

Hi Stef,

the identification system proposed for archetypes and templates (see http://www.openehr.org/svn/specification/TRUNK/publishing/architecture/am/knowledge_id_system.pdf) in the future includes namespacing, in the same way as for software, which ensures there is no confusion about multiple 'competing' modifications to the same original archetype.
