Agenda

Minutes

• Google Summer of Code
  • Will announce accepted applicants on Monday
  • Will need to prepare students to be ready to start
    • IRC meeting with students?
    • Basics of OpenMRS for new students
• Discussion of Metadata
  • Concept_description void or retire?
    • Does not implement OpenMRS metadata - is a child of metadata.
    • Could void because it's not attributable to Patient Data.
    • Technically should probably retire?
    • Implement an OpenMRS Object or ... ?
    • archive:TRAC-1388@ticket
    • It is convenient for all OpenMRS metadata to have getName()
    • Is Field_answer metadata? No... it's more of a mapping table...not needed to keep around.
      • Should void it (Burke). Ben says we should retire it?
      • FieldAnswer implements OpenmrsObject?
  • Metadata:
    • If we need to longitudinally collect the data.
      • ConceptAnswer and FieldAnswer are not metatadata because there is no reason to store the data longitudinally.
    • Actually stored or referenced in patient data.
    • Needs to have name and description properties.
  • All metadata will have a UUID.
  • Every Service should have a "save" method.
  • ConceptAnswer - Not metadata
  • User - Is Data (not metadata).
    • NOT OpenmrsMetadata (should not get 'retired'):
      • ConceptMap
      • ConceptNameTag
      • ConceptProposal
      • ConceptDescription
      • ConceptSet
      • FieldAnswer
    • IS OpenmrsMetadata (will get 'retired')
      • ConceptSource
      • ConceptClass
      • ConceptComplex
      • ConceptDatatype
      • ConceptName
    • Argument to be metadata is that provider is to encounter as location is to encounter.
  • Are there other classes that we want to be metadata that have no business having a name or description?
  • TODO: Look through remaining Objects and decide whether they should be Data or Metadata.
    • Who can do this? Asignee of archive:TRAC-1388@ticket, joutsource?
    • Mike has good idea to have an OpenMRS Object that has a name and description. Extend the Object.
    • OpenmrsObject
    • OpenmrsData - clinical information
    • OpenmrsMetadata - (see metadata)
    • RetirableMetadata - OpenmrsMetadata that has a name and description
    • TODO: Call what we consider metadata as "OpenmrsMetadata"
• Logging
  • SearchKeyLogging module can log
  • Right now if you set logging on "info", every save() method gets logged.
  • Should have log entry for every time a Concept is saved. Should also log get() methods to watch who looked at what clinical data.
    • TODO: Ben will make this a ticket for the logging module.
• Auditable (OpenmrsMetadata should be Auditable)
