Dear all,
the latest release of the archetype workbench is in its usual place at http://www.openehr.org/repositories/adl_ref_parser-dev/latest/distribution/tools/windows/adl_tools_index.html. Note that the java wrapped version has not been brought up to date. The latest changes mainly centre on support for reading and writing of the description section of the archetype, i.e. the descriptive meta-data (author, purpose, keywords etc). The formal model of this part of an archetype is in the AOM (navigate from http://www.openehr.org/repositories/spec-dev/latest/publishing/index.html), and was derived from considering GEHR, Synapses, HL7 CDA meta-data, and most recently the CEN MetaKnow specification.
The updated archetypes at http://www.openehr.org/repositories/archetype-dev/latest/index.html now all have a description section which follows the AOM model.
We expect builds of the workbench to be available on Linux and MacOS by end July (possibly sooner for Linux).
We will also upgrade the workbench to become an editor over the next few months, although it will always remain a technical tool rather than a clinically oriented tool (in the same way that tools like XML-spy etc are essentially technical in nature). However, this development will mean that there will be at least one editor working on all three major platforms.
