Re: Term bindings in archetypes and templates


Hi Sebastien,

Thanks for the comments and advice. See my brief notes below.

I have sorted out the issue with 'any' single attribute constraint.

  I also look forward to seeing CKM archetypes with more bindings!

If term bindings or constraint bindings exist in Archetypes before they 
are made into templates, how are the terminology subsets subsequently 
added to templates? Are they completely new termsets, 
somehow-related-to, or ontologically-subsumed-by the original ones in 
the associated Archetypes? Isn't it true that if binding in a template 
is not on the basis of subsumption, the template is not really a 
constrained form of the archetype...
