that is one place mountains of money were spent (a few ?100k on archetypes), but not the only one. > understand the comment "I know for a fact that the outcomes (using v3) are > not seen as good value.

Thanks for the compliment that CDA is > findoing great use. I declare that success. well it is finding use that's for sure, how widespread it is I can't say. You can move data with it. You can't built a realistic EHR with it; distributed versioning is not defined, querying is not defined (other than: figure it out some Xpaths yourself). Representing properly structured data with it has not been done much, and is widely recognised and claimed by HL7 experts to not be its main use case. > I don;'t care if the throw the red ball, roll the red nball, or toss the > red ball as long as I know it is a red ball. > > To all: I recognize that Thanksgiving is uniquely a US Holiday, but permit > me to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving.
