What documentation should I read and in what order? What are the tools for designing and creating the archetype? What is the order of creation: mind maps --> Archetype --> Template or mind maps --> Template --> Archetype Thank you for your help --- ## Post #2 by @Jose_Almeida Hi there and welcome to the community, You should check the tutorial on how to build archetypes by Ocean Informatics: [http://www.oceaninformatics.com/ocean-informatics-resources/Tutorials.html](http://www.oceaninformatics.com/ocean-informatics-resources/Tutorials.html) José Hilário Almeida 2012/1/26 naji elfadly <[nelfadly@yahoo.fr](mailto:nelfadly@yahoo.fr)> --- ## Post #3 by @naji_elfadly Tank you very mach José --- ## Post #4 by @thomas.beale I suggest you subscribe to the openehr-clinical list - that's the main place for learning and asking questions on modelling topics - there is tons of information on the wiki, but you are going to need to existing experts help you navigate it! - thomas --- ## Post #5 by @ian.mcnicoll Hi Naji, I would also suggest looking at the Help facilities in Clinical Knowledge Manager www\.openehr\.org/knowledge, and reading Heather Leslie's blog at http://omowizard.wordpress.com/ Briefly the process we use somewhat depends on whether the end\-point is an a archetype for general use or template for specific use, but I suggest you re\-post on the clinical list as Thomas suggests and we can answer in more detail there\.
