Based on the problems above, the following recommendations have been made by an initial analysis group .(Rong Chen, Heath Frankel, Sebastian Garde, Thomas Beale):
- Adopt the 'java files' as the basis for going forward.
- Adopt the design approach that openEHR will actually need to create its own 'code-set' files for external code-sets in a standard format based on internet available lists and pages from IANA, ISO etc.
- Define an XML 'adjunct format' for this type of file
- Remove the IANA codes from the existing 'external_terminologies' file, and create a separate file which is derived from the iana.org link above.
- Remove the ISO 639 codes from existing 'external_terminologies' file and create a new adjunct format file derived from the above Library of Congress ISO 639-1 page.
- Remove the ISO 3166 codes existing 'external_terminologies' file and obtain and convert the ISO 3166 file to a separate file in the adjunct format
- Units: TBD
