Matius It is probably worth you investigating the UK GP2GP records transfer project which is using an HL7 based XML schema to underpin records exchange between GP systems in the UK:
http://www.nhsia.nhs.uk/gp2gp/pages/default.asp The GP2GP schema is not, strictly speaking, an open EHR schema but must be highly relevant.

The current documentation describes the openEHR theory and various relevant models quite well, but there are no references to standard document formats. In order to build interoperable openEHR systems there must be a standard XML schema for archetypes, EHR_EXTRACTS, and EHRs (including their encapsulated TRANSACTIONs, CONTENT, etc.). I think compatibility with HL7 CDA schemas should also be a priority. I've downloaded the DTSC archetype editor, but it seems to only output GEHR archetypes. The namespace reference in the XML is: http://www.gehr.org/namespace/archetype, but there doesn't seem to be anything there. I am willing to assist with this step of the project. If anyone has begun this work, please let me know. Any help is appreciated.
