Hi Daniel, This is a bit hack but is a potential work around for the lack of tooling support for demographics archetypes based on an approach I have been using where I am looking to store demographics within an EHR model. You can model your demographics archetypes in the Archetype Editor using CLUSTER archetypes, then change the root type name and archetyped data structure attribute name and type name to the appropriate demographic model values.
For example an address archetype would have a root type name of CLUSTER and attribute of items of type CLUSTER. This could be changed to have a root type name of ADDRESS and attribute of details of type ITEM_TREE. It should be possible to write a transformation between these CLUSTER and demographic type archetypes so that they can be converted in and out of the CLUSTER archetype file that can be used with the Archetype Editor. This is probably most easiest done using XML archetypes. Ultimately it would be best to provide demographic archetype support within the Archetype Editor but this would require either funded or volunteer resources to be made available.
