Thanks to Ian,
Does the  list locating here
> http://www.openehr.org/svn/knowledge/archetypes/dev/html/index_en.html
include all existing Archetypes? I mean at least all reliable and  
examined ones?
in that case, If I cannot find the archetype I need, I should start  
another step to create a new one maybe, am I right?
