In the field of informatics, an archetype is a formal re-usable model of a domain concept. Traditionally, the term archetype is used in psychology to mean an idealized model of a person, personality or behaviour (see Archetype). The usage of the term in informatics is derived from this traditional meaning, but applied to domain modelling instead.The use of archetypes in health informatics was first documented by Thomas Beale, who stated the concept was coined by Derek Renouf. According to Beale, Renouf applied archetypes to configuring Smalltalk systems.
