Thanks, that clears things up a bit.

Subject: Re: Terminology bindings in openEHR
Some background information from the ADL2 spec may help. This description
explains the same semantics as for ADL 1.4. archetypes, except that in ADL 1.4,
'at' and 'ac' codes are used, whereas ADL2 has 'id', 'at' and 'ac' codes.
With respect to tools, there is not yet a standard openEHR terminology look-up
tool, and the direction is most likely that openEHR modelling tools will
integrate with other available tools such as the ones you mention.

Hi,
Can I get some insight into how terminology bindings work in openEHR, or how
they are supposed to work?
It appears openEHR supports multiple terminologies, in addition to its own
internal coding structure (atxxxx). I think there’s a whole terminology service
dedicated to this. But my confusion is how to implement the feature.
In the Ocean Template designer as well as the Archetype editor, there are
features that allow us specify what terminology we want to use and to
‘manually’ input the codes we want to represent. Some data elements already
have fixed ‘Valuesets’ (e.g. Regular, Irregular as Coded_text values for the
‘Regular?’ element in the Pulse archetype).
When I use free online tools to create a FHIR resource for upload to a FHIR
repository, where ‘CodeableConcepts’ exist the form field has a code/database
lookup service to LOINC, SNOMED CT, internal FHIR codes etc., so that as I
enter the first three characters of the concept I want the system presents a
list of options which I can override if I don’t find what I want. When I select
the concept I want, the system inputs the correct code as well as the URL of
the source terminology server.
I want to imagine openEHR supports this sort of ‘lookup’ to existing
terminologies, but how do I accomplish this? Otherwise how does it handle
terminology binding?
