Subject: WEBINAR: Comparing the Yosemite Project and ONC Roadmaps for
Healthcare Information Interoperability

Speaker: David Booth, PhD, Yosemite Project Steering Committee

The Yosemite Project announced a roadmap for healthcare
information interoperability at the Semantic Technology
and Business Conference in August 2014, based on RDF as a
universal information representation.  Shortly thereafter the
Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) announced its own
draft interoperability roadmap and has invited public comments
(due April 3, 2015).  The goal of both roadmaps is to achieve
interoperability of electronic healthcare information, but the
focus and scope are different.  The ONC roadmap is broader and
less technical; the Yosemite Project roadmap is more ambitious.

This webinar compares these two roadmaps -- showing how
they coincide, differ and complement each other -- and
makes recommendations for strengthening the ONC roadmap.
Webinar participants are also invited to share feedback
and suggestions on how these roadmaps can be improved.
Suggestions will be incorporated into a group comment that will
be submitted to the ONC by members of the HL7 ITS subgroup on
"RDF for Semantic Interoperability", the W3C interest group on
"Semantic Web for Healthcare and Life Sciences" and others
interested in the Yosemite Project mission.
