Hi,

While reviewing CKM archetypes we found that slots are usually  
pointing to other v1 archetypes.  
Shouldn't archetype slots point to any version of the included  
archetypes and not a single archetype? Shouldn't be Templates the ones  
pointing to an specific archetype?

This is also true even for "archetype and all its children" slots  
(e.g. openEHR-EHR-OBSERVATION\.  
respiration(-[a-zA-Z0-9\_]+)\*\.v1) in  
which the v1 seems to be even more misplaced as it points to a set of  
archetype v1 by default.

Probably v1 should be changed to v[0-9]+ (or even v[0-9\.]+)

Regards
