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

Syntax Description

  • 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)
