When implementing an openEHR based system for a large hospital, there will be 
hundreds if not thousands of document types. Examples of these are admission 
notes for different departments and specialties, outpatient notes, nursing 
documentation, check lists, discharge summaries, etc ad infinitum. Each of 
these could either have its own COMPOSITION archetype, or they could reuse 
generic compositions but have a separate template for each document type.

What's the smart architectural choice to make here; 1-1 document type - 
COMPOSITION, or reuse of generic COMPOSITIONs in specific templates? Why? How 
can you query a specific document type if it doesn't have its own COMPOSITION?

Kind regards,
