If I then were to copy (CTRL C) the word "Asthma", then the application would know that there's an entry associated with that word. Paste in a new document (CTRL V) and I'd not just paste the word, but also the entry.<br /><br />I proposed that the linking of text and entry be called CDA "level 4", to stress its importance in the structuring of a document content. This is more of a merketing ploy than anything else. Unfortunately the suggestion wasn't accepted for use in CDA R3. Note that CDA R3 may just have one very big entry in it, and lots of textual sections, which will only increase the need for better links between the textual part and the entries. The danger of those becoming disjunct is increasing, not decreasing, in CDA R3.Rene Spronkhttp://www.ringholm.com/column/rs_last_en.htmnoreply@blogger.com
