So this would be valid, I think ... > <terminology_id> > <value>leonardoCT</value> > </terminology_id> > <code_string>5</code_string> Ian Dr Ian McNicoll office +44 (0)1536 414994 fax +44 (0)1536 516317 mobile +44 (0)775 209 7859 skype ianmcnicoll ian.mcnicoll at oceaninformatics.com Clinical analyst, Ocean Informatics, UK openEHR Clinical Knowledge Editor www.openehr.org/knowledge Honorary Senior Research Associate, CHIME, UCL BCS Primary Health Care www.phcsg.org On 18 March 2011 09:33, Peter Gummer <peter.gummer at oceaninformatics.com>wrote: > Leonardo Moretti wrote: > > > I have clear how to use terminology_id and code for DV_CODED_TEXT, > > but here > > I'm wondering if I can use the ordinal (integer) value as coded > > value in a > > DV_ORDINAL, like in this example (note: <code_string>5</code_string>): > > ... > > <terminology_id> > > <value>local</value> > > </terminology_id> > > <code_string>5</code_string> > > No, Leonardo, you can't do that.
