Thanks Thomas,

I read your text a few times, and now I think I understand what you are saying. You say that SNOMED (first remark is not of that high quality to be useful for this purpose) is too extended, too many datapoints, and many useless datapoints for a clinician to be able to do his work, although there are also observable datapoints, as I gave an example in reply to Daniel Karlsson

I think that every leaf-node in an Archetype can be encoded in SNOMED, don't you think?

in theory, it might be possible to attached a SNOMED code to every node that says what the node 'is-about'... but just look at the path list of the apgar archetype. 6 principle data points x 4 time values = 24 main data points. Is 'Apgar muscle tone @ 2 minutes' codeable in SNOMED CT? In fact, you have to use LOINC to do it...
