Thank you so much in your interest and offer for help with MST Archetypes. However MST is controlled and distributed by the World Organisation of Digestive Endoscopy - OMED (www.omed.org). This means any translation work, which is not conducted by associated national associations might not be officially 'valid' however possibly be useful. For downloading all language translations of MST and introductory info about MST refer to: http://www.omed.org/index.php/resources/re_mst/ I guess the closest work for translation to Korean could be Japanese which is already there. In that case you might try to first examine that (the Japanese version is unfortunately not published on the Website) and then contact your national endoscopy association and collaborate. BTW I just discovered now that the MindMap also works for other archetypes published on openEHR site. It was interesting to visualize my archetype; it definitely looks more understandable ;) http://www.archetypes.com.au/archetypefinder/mindmaps/mindmap.html?openEHR-EHR-OBSERVATION.mst_colon.v1.mm In summary, related with multilingual archetypes, I agree that probably the first ones to be completed should be common and atomic concepts like BP, LAB, Apgar etc. but since that MST is already there in EN & TR and that 9 officially released translations are available it would be wise to give it a try. And please note that, while most other archetypes are representing atomic, simple clinical concepts, MST is unique in a way that it models a whole gastrointestinal endoscopy clinical domain. (MST-Colon and many other archetypes by forming a Composition). From my point of view, which was the motivation of my thesis research, Archetypes are equally useful/enabler for modeling and separating 'highly-volatile' parts of domain knowledge contained in a health information system. And yet, in addition to basic concepts, there may exist many different type of clinical forms and charts for data acquisition. So in my sense, in order to build a working clinical IS one has to be able to model all those "information molds carved by clinical knowledge" so as to be able to cope with complexity and changeability. I should also point out that these principles mostly apply to highly-specialized clinical information systems, such as endoscopy or sub-divisions of anatomic pathology. I will reopen this subject again for further discussion when appropriate. Best regards, Koray Atalag, MD, Ph.D
