Re: Yosemite Manifesto on RDF as a Universal Healthcare Exchange Language

Also, the RDF is just triplets. It doesn't say who's model.  It is RDF of 
a SNOMED like or HL7 like or openEHR like  model? Does everyone make up 
their own roles and nodes?  So saying it's RDF leaves all the same 
problems we have now.  It's not so much the representation as it is the 
models.

We'll still argue about whether we use SNOMED roles, make HL7 rim classes 
and roles or openEHR or something else.

Hello David,

I think life sciences have been early adopters for a while so this may
be a bit of preaching to the converted :-) 

Not a single word about privacy and dangers in the position statement ? 
Strange...
