the ref set results are defined by Snomed RF2 ref set specs, now in draft. I don't know whether they are allowed to be shared outside IHTSDO, but will find out. The query language is still an open question. > Similar to what is described here but based on RefSets: > http://www.openehr.org/wiki/display/term/Ocean+Terminology+Query+Language+%28TQL%29 > > > > I agree that RefSets are a good way forward, but they need to be > available, reusable and sharable, etc. they do. The current IHTSDO thinking is that ref sets will mainly be defined by national release centres and maintained in the national extensions, with some major refsets being in the international release. I think this is far too restrictive a view, and that in future they will be defined and maintained in health care facilities, regional information centres and anywhere else that needs them. The IHTSDO representation and extension mechanism should be usable at all these levels. How it could be used for openEHR I have yet to find out, but am making enquiries as a member of the IHTSDO Technical Committee). - thomas* * -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
