Companies could make their own set, and sometimes they will make their own specific archetypes, but in the majority, I think they will re-use what is already available. Consider: to create from scratch 20 or so key archetypes (perhaps 400 data points) that has taken 100s of hours of expert clinician time and quality assurance - very few companies could attempt that. Also, companies that routinely make products with archetypes that noone else uses and/or companies that don't share truly new archetypes.... won't have many interoperability partners. - thomas
