Re: About parallel archetype editing


Hi Stef,

Thomas beat me to it!! 

Namespacing will be crucial to resolving this kind of issue but we will also have to enable some very effective communications between development teams so that as new ideas are added locally, they can be disseminated quickly where they have universal appeal. We have a number of ideas to help with this

Federating CKMs so that local changes are flagged up to participating developers
A pre-CKM space where developers can share archetypes and ideas in a much less rigid environment than is required for the formal CKM publishing activity.

This is a very challenging area, technically and 'socio-technically' where the right blend of communication and control will be essential;. We need to be able to share developing ideas quickly, rather than in isolation, before these become enshrined in actual implementation ,and therefore difficult to align. In contrast, we also need to have complete control over the exact versions archetypes, templates and termsets in our working systems , and in our design environments. This is where 'Release Sets' will become invaluable.

Any ideas would be very welcome

Ian

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.
