Clinical PR

@Ian McNicoll

SPECPR-440: Add 'Role/ note' and 'other_details' to PARTY_IDENTIFIEDOpen

  • need more input from modelers/use-case on what to store under other_details

SPECPR-442: For DV_SCALE /DV_ORDINAL, make value attribute optional not mandatoryOpen

  • This is only on DV_SCALE

  • a data value without a value is a somehow invalid datapoint

  • suggestion to consider if changing the type of the DV_SCALE.value from Real to String (so that the key can be used)

  • suggestion to modelers to consider to use DV_CODED_TEXT in such situation (when a DV_SCALE has no value, perhaps a set of DV_CODED_TEXT sounds more appropriate) - but this will not work for situation where values are used multiple times

  • not discussed too much, need more feedback

  • @Sebastian Garde

    • cannot turn the value to String, rather make the value optional

    • consider deprecating DV_ORDINAL class ?

      • it might have huge impact in the future on data instances, and smaller impact on models
