Hi all;

I'd really appreciate your opinion about some issues about openEHR template concept in AOM 1.5. From current development specifications found here:

http://www.openehr.org/svn/specification/TRUNK/publishing/architecture/am/aom1.5.pdf

http://www.openehr.org/svn/specification/TRUNK/publishing/architecture/am/adl1.5.pdf

http://www.openehr.org/svn/specification/TRUNK/publishing/architecture/am/tom.pdf

I see that Templates are defined in the form of specialised archetypes.

On http://openehr.org/knowledge/ I found 2 example of OET templates (“eReferral” and “Demo with hide-on-form”), but I think they're not compliant to specification mentioned above.

Is "oet template" a different concept with respect to "openEHR template" described in AOM 1.5? Or are there any points I'm currently not considering?

I really thank you very much for your kind attention.

Best regards;

Yes, they are different\. The oet templates are the first generation of
templates in openEHR\. They proved that the idea of aggregating
archetypes works in reality\. The 1\.5 specification builds upon this
experience\.
