The Domain Termlist part of ENV 13606 provides a set of measures to support various degrees of interoperability of the EHCRs created on different systems or by different teams on the same system. These measures aim to enhance the likelihood that EHCR entries can be accessed or communicated in a way that:
- supports the visual interpretation of original entries by the end-user of a recipient system;
- facilitates record navigation;
- enables a limited level of amalgamation of received data sufficient to permit the generation of longitudinal views; and
- allows for a limited degree of automated processing, e.g. information retrieval.
These are intended to complement the communication of structural organisation within record entries provided by the architecture (Part 1) and message (Part 4) provisions of ENV 13606.
