This repository
is the work of Sam Heard (Ocean Informatics), Sebastian Garde (Central
Qld University) and others; it was funded by the Australian
Dept
of Health and Ageing (DoHA). Its user interface is generated
dynamically from an ontology defined in Protégé,
and its content is drawn from the openEHR
clinical archetypes in the top group above. |
What are archetypes?
Archetypes are formal content specifications, expressed in terms of constraints on a reference model. Any reference model can be used. For health computing, the openEHR reference model provides the basis for nearly all archetypes, both "clinical" and "integration" archetypes. Archetypes are combined together by templates, and used at runtime to create data, enable smart querying, and to support legacy data transformation. See the openEHR Archetypes FAQ for more general information.
Archetypes seem to be in a formal language....where are the specifications?
They are indeed in formal language, known as Archetype Definition Language, or ADL. See here for the specification (current version - ADL 1.4; future - ADL 2).
Surely I don't have to edit ADL by hand? What about tools?
There are various tools available for editing and viewing archetypes, including:
- Ocean Informatics Ocean Archetype Editor - a Windows clinical archetype editing tool; development project & source code; help site;
- Ocean Informatics Archetype Workbench - a portable technical archetype viewing tool; downloads: .msi for Windows; help page;
- Linköpings University Team - Java Archetype Editor
