CP: Additional extension points needed #14

Open litlfred opened 10 years ago

litlfred commented 10 years ago

The existing extension points are not sufficient for current expressed needs. For example in Nigeria, they also want to track the competency level of a health worker's language. One could use the /CSD/providerDirectory/provider/extension point to do this, but it is either largely duplicative of the data in /CSD/providerDirectory/provider/language or requires a clumsy reference to that element.

A few places where allowing more extensions would be: -codedType allows any attribute -/CSD/providerDirectory/provider/language has an extension element -/CSD/providerDirectory/provider/credential has an extension element -/CSD/providerDirectory/provider/demographic has an extension element

Not sure if there is anything similar in the facility directory domain.

(About to be) submitted as a CP with the exception that provider/language does not have an extension point as I am not sure this is really needed. The same CP also allows any attribute on the csd:codedtype element
