Code List Lessons Learned / Problems Encountered

Hello, all,

 

I’m participating in a NIEM-related code list tiger
team. I’ve reviewed the CLR requirements from 2007 and the Genericode 1.0
specification that addresses the Version 1 requirements.

 

Our tiger team would be very interested in collecting any
information (metrics, use cases, anecdotal comments, or simply opinions) of
problems encountered and lessons learned in working with code lists that led to
any of the CLR requirements. This is partially addressed in Section 2 of the
spec (“What is a Code List?”) and in a presentation by Tony Coates.
We are especially interested in systemic problems – a la root cause
analysis.

 

Examples of the kind of problems we are interested in
capturing (independent of Genericode):

n       System A
added an “unknown” code XYZ to a local copy of a standard code list
without realizing that code was already in use.

n       Code 123
appears in 2 related code lists, A and B, but the meaning is different each
list, so metadata is needed to clarify the full context.

 

Thanks in advance for your insights and experiences.
