You could simulate it quite easily for the archetypes: Base URL (e.g. http://svn.openehr.org/knowledge/archetypes/dev/adl/openehr/ehr/) + a folder as per the various Archetype classes (e.g. section/ or entry/observation) + the id + .adl Or you can also simply search with the Archetypefinder at http://www.archetypes.com.au This site also provides a couple of webservices to e.g. retrieve the URL from the ID and to retrieve the ADL File directly from the ID. These can also be accessed (tested) via the web, e.g. http://www.archetypes.com.au/archetypefinder/services/ArchetypeFinderBea n?method=getArchetypeADLURL¶m=openEHR-EHR-OBSERVATION.blood_pressure .v1 to retrieve the URL or http://www.archetypes.com.au/archetypefinder/services/ArchetypeFinderBea n?method=getArchetypeInADL¶m=openEHR-EHR-OBSERVATION.blood_pressure. v1 to retrieve the ADL File direct. Note that this is a prototype implementation only at the moment. So http://www.archetypes.com.au/archetypefinder/services/ArchetypeFinderBea n?method=getArchetypeADLURL¶m=<MYARCHETYPEID> is essentially what you are looking for I think. > The organization of the archectypes is currently by action, > evaluation, instruction, observation etc. - is that the only defined > organization (versus breaking it out by domain e.g. vital signs). See http://www.archetypes.com.au again, it gives you an idea of suggested classifications for archetypes. This is based on an OWL ontology and the user interface is dynamically generated from it, thus the classification is very flexible and easy to change.
