Dear Thomas, Mikael and Michael Thanks for the useful comments which I will try to digest and incorporate into my study.
I note that two of my original questions remain unanswered - Are there any mature templates - linked to existing archetypes which I could use to extract bindings? These templates could be in any format. - In your experience, where are bindings generally positioned in an archetype or template? Is this ONLY decided by terminologists or will there also be style guide / principles to (for instance) constrain the possible position of bindings? In addition, I have the following question I read the wiki page authored by Thomas that discusses the equivalent of Archetypes and Terminology. I am interested in the concept of deriving a terminological artefact that gives an idea of the content of Archetypes. (In my work we are calling this a terminological "shadow". I would like to know - In your opinion - do the bindings in Archetypes represent some clues to the coverage of clinical content?
