Thomas, What gets modeled where?
Reading your examples I have the following questions: - GTT, "want to see one graph". Are you talking about an Archetype or a Template? I think you are talking Templates where clinicians want to see something. They use in the template archetypes. Archetypes are used to store information in the database. When I store 10 Glucose measurements and patient states obtained at 10 different dates and times in the data base each as single point measurement using an Archetype each time to store that measurement, and when I store 10 Glucose measurements and patient states obtained at 10 different dates and times as a times series in the data base using one Archetype, can I retrieve all glucose data and patient states using one version of the Archetype or do have have to use one Archetype version with all measurements modeled separately and one Archetype with all measurements modeled as a time series?
