Greg, We at Mayo are working with OpenEHR to produce a set of Java methods to create Archetypes which can be represented in OWL. These Archetypes are output in the abstract syntax which is loaded into memory as Java objects which are exposed for your use. Then we have a set of routines to output these objects as OWL:rdf, which is the exchange syntax for the semantic web. This output of Archetypes will be linked to higher level models such as the CDA and a terminology model (expressed as an archetype).
Hopefully code will be available by early October. Warm regards, Peter Peter L.

Since you're looking to export ADL to OWL, it seems like they overlap quite a bit, but what are the differences? Also, from the web site I couldn't tell if the HL7 Structured documents were to be published in *both* ADL and OWL, or in a *combination* of the two. Please direct me to a URL if I've missed some pertinent documentation (admittedly, I've only read the OpenEHR web site so far, not the seminal Archetypes paper).
