I have been using Archetype editor and Template designer so far and am experimenting with LinkEHR studio. I have managed to import, visualize and edit OpenEHR archetypes(1.4).
However I am not able to understand how to combine archetypes into a template (like we do in Template designer) and export OPTs.I am importing these OPTs into an EtherCIS server. Is this possible? if yes can somebody point to the documentation for this(the documentation from LinkEGR only talks about Archetypes)
You can create new templates based on archetypes (File->new template), or import your OPT. I recommend that you configure the local repository to access the directory, similar to how TD works
File->new template does not seem to exist. However I could import OPT files. However I am still enable to insert another archetype into a slot. The options allow me to only create archetypes and archetype slots and not insert and existing archetype.
Have you tried ADL designer yet? This is the tool modellers are migrating to for general modelling of archetypes and templates, and it supports ADL 1.4 and .oet templates.
Have seen news in the mailing list and have been wanting to try it for sometime. Unfortunately the OpenEHR tools page link only seems to have a test account login. Is there a version that can be used for production? or at least save and rework with files securely?
No, it is under heavy development, and will definitely become the main tool for modellers - or maybe with LinkEHR it will be equally used as well (that is also well maintained). The UI tool is not open source; some of the core libs are I think. So you will not see current source code in Github or anywhere like that.
From what Diego is saying, LinkEHR is getting better at openEHR templates, so it may be that we have two excellent tools to work with, not a bad situation ...
