Resource Model STABLE

Model for authored, translatable, versioned documents. Provides the common structure for all openEHR artefacts requiring author metadata, language support, and annotation capability. It underpins all openEHR authored artefacts - archetypes, templates, guidelines, and information model documents - providing a uniform structure for governance and translation management. The model supports multiple natural language translations of descriptions, annotations, and terminology bindings within a single artefact.
