In defining the RDF representation of FHIR data, we need to maintain element ordering in some cases, both because ordering can be semantically relevant (such as listing someone's preferred mailing address first in a list of addresses), and to support round-tripping of FHIR RDF data back to FHIR XML. Because native rdf:Lists are difficult to query in SPARQL, we have talked about using some other list representation. To inform our decision we would like to get input on people's preferences. Here are the options we are considering: Ordered List Ontology (OLO) http://smiy.sourceforge.net/olo/spec/orderedlistontology.html Collections Ontology (CO) http://www.essepuntato.it/lode/owlapi/http://purl.org/co/ Simple List Conventions (SLC) http://goo.gl/8PNuAG To see how these three compare, the Simple List Conventions document at http://goo.gl/8PNuAG includes comparisons with OLO and CO, and an explanation of the difficulty of using native rdf:Lists in SPARQL. Please indicate your opinion here: http://goo.gl/forms/zXn2b4ueoM Thanks! David Booth
