Re: [OpenEMed-developer] Re: Specify search criteria with PIDS idviewer

[Joncheng K. <ck...@sy...>]

Hi, Dave,

We're implementing the BrowseAccess interface and interfaces related to 
ObservationRemote. If this effort is useful to you, we would like to 
contribute what we have to the OpenEMed project. My userid at 
SourceForge is "joncheng".

Besides, thank you for your help on IDViewer. I know how to use it now.

Enter the family name you are looking for (or any portion thereof) and click on find.  You then should see search results in the panel below in a tree structure.  The upper right panel is to select which traits you want to be filled in.  The idea for IDViewer is to enable one to see much more complex traits that PIDS supports by displaying them in an tree structure.   How it handles some of these traits is constrained by some XML files in the client directory.  For example HL7Types.xml has the following:
>
><?xml version="1.0"?>
><!DOCTYPE PIDS SYSTEM 'XMLtypes.dtd'>
><PIDS>
><Trait name="HL7/PatientName"  T="XPN" sep="^">

></Trait>

It could use a little more work to improve its flexibility and streamline the code considerably.    But it should get the point across of the flexibility and power of PIDS.
