[Gnumed-devel] plugin design question

[Sebastian Hilbert]

I was asking myself. Where do I implement rule checking ? Let's say I would 
like to let the user select the pacing mode DDDR and store 
<rateresponse>active</rateresponse> because R is part of the mode. 

I would implement this in the GUI ? 
Or in some sort of special intermediateware so a webclient input field could 
be evaluated as well ?

Guess I would have to write some sort of rule checking library. It would then 
be up to me how many checks to implement.

If we later decide to store values in the database instead of xml part of this 
will have to be implemented at database level , right ?

I could then do stuff like warn the user when the battery gets low, a unipolar 
pacemaker lead is set to bipolar or prompt for shorter follow up intervals 
when an elevated pacing threshold ist detcted and stuff like that.

Any comment is appreciated.
