Hi Sebastian,Segunodujebe, I had been thinking about this as part of the NHS work where it would be very helpful to do some of the original work in a mindmapping tool then import it to one of the archetype editors.
I don't think the process needs to be too clever about node ids, cardinality, typing etc as even just being able to import a simple structure as text elements/ clusters would save a lot of typing and drag-dropping. The editor could then be used to refine/refactor datatypes etc This, of course would be a one-off exercise and not 'round-trip' as has been suggested but would be very helpful as a start point.
