Implementation Guide Arden Syntax
This page will collect material for a Arden Syntax implementation guide
General Outline
=== Context: Arden Syntax in the CDS World
- How Arden came about and evolved
- How Arden relates to other standards used in clinical decision support
Syntax Description Part (Medexters HowTo)
basically taken from Medexters How-To
- Arden Syntax – Fundamentals (what is a MLM, how are they represented)
- Basic MLM Layout (categories and slots and their duty)
- Identify an MLM (name, institution and version)
- Data Types (basic types, Fuzzy Sets, Truth Value as well as Primary Time and Applicability)
- Expressions (basic expressions and Curly Braces)
- Statements (basics and control statements)
- Operators (some basic operators)
Basic tasks (by example)
- common tasks (e.g. search a list for a specific value, sort a list of objects etc.)
- small snippets of MLM code on how to solve specific problems (e.g. in former versions it was not possible to convert a String into a Date, this section should explain on how to do this)
- call sub MLM
- create complex knowledge bases with MLMs
Programming / Engineering Use Cases (how to implement ...):
Every use case should contain at least one example MLM.
- decision trees/tables
- production system
- state machines / transitions
- guidelines
- fuzzy control
- use of external knowledge bases
- creation and maintenance of documents (e.g., CHICA system)
- (any other ideas ?)
=== Clinical Use Cases
How to use Arden to deliver decision support in particular clinical or administrative scenarios
- immunizations
- hospital admission quality indicators
- population-based decision support (e.g., infection control)
F.A.Q. (taken from the website Robert created + some additional questions)
