The personality is a dynamic system. Like all other dynamic systems, it must be self-organized. In this paper I focus upon the archetype-as-such, that is, upon the essential core around which both an archetypical image and a complex are organized. I argue that an archetype-as-such is a pre-existing principle of organization. Within the personality that principle manifests itself as a psychologi...

An archetype is a formal model of a domain concept, expressed as a set of constraints based on a reference model and used in a particular domain. In clinical domains, an archetype is defined as a formal model of a clinical concept. Archetypes are considered by many researchers a fundamental tool for the achievement of semantic interoperability of electronic healthcare records. To date, differen...

There has always been confusion and disagreement about the nature of the terms archetype and complex in Jungian circles, not to mention non-Jungian ones. Another ongoing concern is whether Jung's concept of the archetype and complex can be justified in terms of current scientific research, most notably that of neurophysiologists and others interested in the brain and consciousness. This paper p...

Abstract In our dialogues over the nature of archetypes, essence, psyche, and world, I further respond to Erik Goodwyn’s recent foray into establishing an ontological position that not only answers mind-body problem, but locates source Psyche on a cosmic plane. His impressive attempt launch neo-Jungian metaphysics is based principle panpsychism bridges both internal parameters archetypal proces...

In this article, we describe an infrastructure enabling archetype-based semantic interoperability of Web Service messages exchanged in the health care domain. We annotate the Web Service messages with the OWL representation of the archetypes. Then, by providing the ontology mapping between the archetypes, we show that the interoperability of the Web Service message instances can be achieved aut...

A parallel program archetype aids in the development of reliable, eecient parallel applications with common computation/communication structures by providing stepwise reenement methods and code libraries speciic to the structure. The methods and libraries help in transforming a sequential program into a parallel program via a sequence of reenement steps that help maintain correctness while reen...

Comparative biology is a field that deals with morphology. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe recognised comparative biology, not as a passive science obsessed with counting similarities as it is today, but as an active field wherein he sought to perceive the inter-relationships of individual organisms to the organic whole, which he termed the archetype. I submit that Goethe’s archetype and his applica...

BACKGROUND Healthcare information technologies have the potential to transform nursing care. However, healthcare information systems based on conventional software architecture are not semantically interoperable and have high maintenance costs. Health informatics standards, such as controlled terminologies, have been proposed to improve healthcare information systems, but their implementation i...
