archetypes & templates

I am a newby in the community of openEHR. It is not
clear to me the distinction between "archetype" and
"template". It seems that a template is based on an
archetype. Let's start from archetype in fig. 11, pag.
26 in REV 2.2.1.
Is it possible to have an example in which the
"new_value" slot is implemented with a concrete value?
And an example of at least a couple of templates based
on this new defined archetype?
Thank you very much.

The main documents are on the openEHR website here.

I have written a paper with others addressing this issue last year.

I would be interested in knowing if this resolves the issues - feedback
welcome.
