Notes:
Annual Meeting, June 15-16 2015, Istanbul, Turkey
Difficulties encountered:
1. A lot of manual work. Many of data are not stored in the
database what creates some errors and inconsistency
between the sets of CDI and odv files.
2. Some problems with units selection.
NEMO has been used to crate a header for odv files using
vocabulary. We used simple unit mmol/dm3 while found
difficulties with selection of the proper ones from vocabulary .
3. The change of the vocabulary required all odv
correction.
