Thank you everyboyd for your help. Apparently there are already openEHR XML schemas in development at DTSC. I plan on doing an analysis of these schemas versus HL7's CDA and GP2GP project. I will post the results to the list after the work has been done. Unfortunately I have limited access to CEN work in this area, so if anyone can assist me regarding CEN's XML work for EHRs it would be greatly appreciated.

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.
