Thanks ?ystein! I was primarily looking for something on a more specific and practical level, but I guess Rector is a good place to start.

Sendt: 24. september 2014 20:59 Til: For openEHR technical discussions Emne: Re: Texts about transforming between openEHR and other formalisms 24. sep. 2014 kl. 18.01 skrev Bakke, Silje Ljosland <silje.ljosland.bakke at helse-bergen.no<mailto:silje.ljosland.bakke at helse-bergen.no>>: Hi, I'm wondering if anyone could point me to any publically available texts about transforming archetypes (and templates) from openEHR to other formalisms. Academic publications exploring the (im)possibilities of automatic transformation would be ideal. A highly recommended and succinct article about the distinctions, relationships and transformations between archetypes, frames, templates and semantically tractable formalisms is: Alan Rector's: "Axioms & Templates: Distinctions & Transformations amongst Ontologies, Frames, & Information Models" . His way of clearing up the terminology about (my words here...) information model (in the computer), templates (presentations for humans) and domain knowledge (boundaries of reality) should be required reading for anyone working on domain modelling. Look into the citations for more background. Available freely here: http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2479840 (Archetypes are essentially just another template/frame/OO-inspired modelling convention. And yes, Alan Rector is THE authority on the subject matter.)
