Which terminology interface are you referring to? Some interface 
available in the Ocean Editor or the one developed by the Swedish team?

Well the blood pressure archetype uses a "Pressure" code i.e. "125" from 
the openEHR terminology. However the rubric is not attached as either a 
description or name anywhere in the archetype model. Is that limitation 
what you are referring to here? It would be more helpful to explain your 
problem with the help of an example.

However just as a starter, it is quite straight forward to establish a 
query interface which goes away and extract the rubric assigned to a 
terminology code to help with the mapping exercise. However this is only 
for reference purpose. Because once a code has already been assigned to 
a local term it is "assumed" that the mapping has already been completed 
for that term. Performing a second round of mapping unless it is with a 
different terminology is not beneficial.

I think what you want to do is perform mapping to other terminologies 
(which should really be besides the openEHR terminology), in which case 
you can always present the codes and rubric at the same time to help a 
person reach a decision on the most appropriate code to map the 
archetype term to.

Which example terminology implementation in the Swedish Archetype Editor 
have you looked at? Also it is still not clear what exactly you are 
trying to achieve through the openehr terminology? You might get more 
responses if you can exemplify your problem statement.
