I have updated the page 
http://www.openehr.org/wiki/display/spec/openEHR+EHR+Extract on the 
openEHR EHR Extract to now include a reference to a new ADL 1.5 template 
example for a full Extract of a simple discharge summary (do an SVN 
update on your local copy of the http://www.openehr.org/svn/knowledge2/ 
repository to get the new archetypes and templates).

This work illustrates a large, realistic structure modelled as an ADL 
1.5 template and archetypes, and the resulting structured can be seen in 
the 'flat view' visualisation. Soon we will have the ADL and XML OPT 
serialisation being output.

Apart from the ADL 1.5 template-based modelling, this example might help 
people understand the openEHR EHR Extract. I sometimes see, with some 
amusement, web pages, posts or papers saying things like 'openEHR is a 
model of an EHR, 13606 is a model of an Extract' etc. While it is true 
that 13606 defines only a model of an Extract, openEHR defines a model 
of EHR information, in both a form that could be used to design an EHR, 
and a form that is used for Extracts. Indeed, the openEHR Extract is 
significantly more flexible than the 13606 Extract (now somewhat out of 
date). Perhaps if there any new version of 13606 in the future might be 
able to benefit from the design used here.
