You will be unsurprised to learn that we agree with USM Bish, and that names and other demographic entities should be archetyped. We don't seem to have a person name archetype yet, but you will get the idea from the location address one at http://www.openehr.org/repositories/archetype-dev/latest/adl/archetypes/openehr/demographic/openehr-demographic-address.location_address.draft.html.
I believe the approach of trying to have these as types in a RIM is problematic, for exactly the reasons Bert mentions. - thomas beale - If you have any questions about using this list, please send a message to d.lloyd at openehr.org
