Introduction The Clinical Knowledge Manager (CKM) is an international, online clinical knowledge resource. CKM involves of active online community which contains individuals that are interested and motivated in furthering the development of an open source clinical informatics system. The CKM allows its users to participate in the design and improvement of an international set of archetypes. These archetypes then have the chance to become the foundation for interoperable electronic health records (openEHR). The system uses lingua franca, which allows open communication to be possible between different languages, this is ideal for the international community to share health information between individuals and clinicians, if they do not share the mother tongue. Contribution to the Clinical Knowledge Manager is on a voluntary basis, allowing its content to be freely accessed under the Creative Commons Licence. Governance The governance structures of the Clinical Knowledge Manager are known as Domain. A Domain is comprised of: •	The entire repository (library) of primary assets, these include archetypes, templates, and terminology subsets. •	Secondary assets, these include automatically generated functions. •	Any related properties for both primary and secondary assets. The top-level authorities which are responsible for the entire library of clinical knowledge (primary asset) are called administrators. The administrators manage the domain in a national and/or international (most commonly in a non-for-profit) organisation/operator. An example of the CKM national operator is National eHealth Transition Authority (NEHTA), which is Australia’s domain. An example of an international domain is openEHR Each domain is managed mainly by one or two Clinical Knowledge Administrators (depending of the size/content of the domain). These administrators are responsible for the processes underpinning the domain, these include governance of archetypes. Aces-jam-silos (talk) 00:01, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
