Hi! While we are discussing metadata and identifiers... Shouldn't the metadata/description part of an archetype/template be based on Dublin Core ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dublin_Core ) instead of an openEHR specific approach? That might make librarians, search engines and other existing artifact storage/searc software feel more at home :-) Using Dublin Core does not take away the requirement of having identifiers though, since something has to go into the Dublin Core identifier field. There are several levels of Dublin Core and the ones with good structural requirements on the values may be useful.
The idea of using Dublin Core for archetype/template-like-artifacts I got from Tim Cook et.al. in MLHIM.
