I'm not implying each FHIR resource has a correspondent openEHR class or
vice-versa. To be correct, I should add "create the mappings that can be
done at the IM level", other mappings, might be done between a FHIR
resource and an openEHR archetype or archetypes (like
MedicationAdministration), and others might be done between a FHIR profile
and an openEHR archetype/s. The point was: without this, the
transformations are 100% manual, with this, the transformations can be
assisted at some point, but this is far from automatic transformations.
