Well now.
There is nothing to stop people turning medical logic models (which
they might even describe using the Arden Syntax) into SOPHIES, EMIS
Protozoa or the ISIS routines that Torex Premiere runs.
In fact if they were (for instance) a drug company about to market a
new drug with a tricky dose schedule and dose monitoring/calculation
requirement then they would be very sensible to do just that for all
of them.
Among the shareware tools that should by now exist should be an
editor that can turn out all three in one go, together with the
generic description of the medical logic module they constitute, or
that can read in that generic description and transalte it, or that
can read in an exported module of any of those types, and churn it
out in the other 4 formats. Has anyone seen or writtten it yet?
It might well use some terms familiar from HQL and MIQUEST, since
this seems to be catching on nicely.
