As is the case, there are several different ways in which data form the data base is represented on a screen or inputted via the key board. Next to text, codes, images there are numerical values. Many times the present data types are sufficient. But there are more complex numerical results such as: - value and normal ranges for a specific population - value as the result of a statistical method. The Z-vlaue is just one of them. For each kind of statistical result we need a specific archetype pattern. These could be additional (extended) data types, but equally could be standardised archetype patterns. The latter I prefer because data types I associate with the interface with program languages. And there statistical result do not play a role.
