Hi Olef, I'm sure someone from Ocean with more detailed technical knowledge will give a more precise answer but you might consider using the forthcoming formal openEHR Operational Template specification for this sort of exercise. I have been working with Derek Hoy's Clinical Templates project ( www.ClinTemplate.org), which uses a simple web-based approach to gathering clinical data entry requirements and at present uses a custom internal XML format. We are lookng (fairly quickly) to use the openEHR operational Template specificaction (OPT) as the back-end formalism. We think this approach will be much easier as the Oet files only contain the constraints on underlying archetypes (effectively a diff) whilst the OPT format contains the underlying archetypes themeselves and can be easily used to generate XSDs or other artefacts.
see http://www.openehr.org/wiki/display/spec/openEHR+Templates+and+Specialised+Archetypes The openEHR specification is very close to completion. It would be interesting to know more about your project. We are aware of a requirement for a data-entry/UI requirements gathering tool which, though based on openEHR templates, goes somewhat beyond their natural domain in capturing further UI requirements and rules. The Clinical Templates work has more of a focus on generic infomation standards capture, rather than specific local data-entry but there is considerable cross-over.
