Informal openEHR meetups
- ...
Yes, these are confusing. We have to make them clear.
Ruby, Python are concerned by one group, but many groups commit to Java.
More groups are developing openEHR, theese groups are explicitly mentioned me to participate.
If your group are going to participate this workshop, please add comment or mail to me or edit this page
We might join in from LiU with our simple educational EHR system (LiU EEE) based on Java/REST/XML, but we need to confirm and test some things first. We'll tell you when we know more, hopefully before the Medinfo deadline ![]()
Our LiU poster submission...
REST Based Services and Storage Interfaces for openEHR Implementations
(E Sundvall, M Nyström, M Eneling, D Karlsson, H Åhlfeldt)
...was "upgraded" to a 15+5-minute scientific demonstration by the reviewers. :-)
Abstract and Objective:
A lack of open, modular service implementations for openEHR makes it harder for newcomers to learn and experiment with openEHR. We are trying to address this in an educational EHR environment (LiU EEE). Some of our approaches, presented in the poster, are likely of value for other openEHR implementations and may also contribute to the upcoming openEHR service model specifications.
The main contribution of this work is the formalization of the openEHR storage, retrieval and version-handling semantics into a Representational State Transfer (REST) architectural style framework that can be used as a service interface. The modular design using Java Restlets makes it easy to e.g. test, distribute, cache and load-balance the system using ordinary web server technology. Another contribution is a generic database interface and example implementations for different types of database backends.
Your groups are confusing. You mix a commercial company, then one programming language and then combine two other languages into another group. So what really is your metric for a participant?
