Hi Paria, The Ocean archetype editor help files are not too bad as a 'technical' guide and these other pages might be helpful
openEHR Entry Types FAQs http://www.openehr.org/shared-resources/faqs/entrytypes.html What reference model class to use when? http://www.openehr.org/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=786529 and, of course, look at existing examples http://www.archetypes.com.au/archetypefinder/archetypefinder Although you may find the discussion pointed to by Tim to be of interest, in my experience, beginners often find the Evaluation or Observation debate confusing because there are many grey-area examples in clinical practice. I take the view that much of this debate, though fun, can be distracting, since other than the clear cases where a clinical concept demands the sophisticated, precise timing/state features of the Observation class, the consequences of mis-labelling e.g a Barthel Score as Evaluation, rather than Observation, are almost nil. One other useful tip, which the 'professionals' find very useful is to use mindmapping software such as Freemind to setup and refine the basic archetype structure, before replicating in the archetype editor.
