Re: UPDATED DRAFT AGENDA FOR TOMORROWS CONFERENCE CALL 1/12/06

Hi Tonya & Eric(s),

I see on Day 1 afternoon  there is a session on terminological  
federation, that doesn't yet have an assigned discussant.

This topic is one I actually suggested, and I'd be happy to give a  
lead-in to it, if you like. I can't claim I have any answers, but I  
know I can outline why it's an important topic, sketch some of the  
challenges of which I am aware, and tell you about my experiences vis- 
a-vis SNOMED and other terminologies.

I'll post a few thoughts to the Wiki as starters.

John
