Hello Marcio
Perhaps the quickest route to do this would be to use the java reference
implementation (http://www.openehr.org/projects/java.html) and more
specifically the classes ADLParser and Archetype. Essentially, you
create a new ADLParser object passing as a parameter a standard file
object pointing to your ADL file and then from the parser you can obtain
an Archetype object using the parse() member function.
//For a (minimal) example
File fd;
ADLParser theParser;
Archetype MyArchetype;
fd = new File("openEHR-EHR-OBSERVATION.blood_pressure.v1.adl");
theParser = new ADLParser(fd);
MyArchetype = theParser.parse();
//--------------------------------------------------------------
// It omits some exception handling but this is the main idea
You can now traverse the archetype structure implied by your .adl file
using the functions of Archetype such as getAdlVersion(),
getConceptName(), getChildren() and others.
You could also use the Clinical Knowledge Manager
(http://openehr.org/knowledge/) to browse archetypes of interest and
download them in XML (rather than ADL). From there you could possibly
process the XML to recover anything you want (concepts, terms, labels etc).
The code from the opereffa project
(http://opereffa.chime.ucl.ac.uk/introduction.jsf) might also be helpful
for you, depending on what exactly you are trying to do (Web app in
Java, deployed over Tomcat).
That one is very detailed in that it includes all the necessary (and
extensive) work that is required to handle Archetype(able) information
through the current reference implementation and the Data Access Objects
"mechanism". If my memory is not failing me, it also includes an actual
user interface generator so that forms accepting data are constructed
through the archetypes.
I hope this helps.
All the best
