RE: COI Functional Requirements - ways to implement them

Dan,

Thanks for the documents posted by you on the wiki site.

[VK] Yes, this could be one of the technical tasks that could be proposed. 
I do have issues with "customized JSPs". One of the value points of SW
technologies is to create generalized solutions and not one-off solutions.

[VK] Would the EMR Wrapper essentially be a gateway translating EMR data in a
legacy format to RDF/OWL?

Also, would "search agents" essentially be matching agents?

[VK] Will put it on the agenda. Hopefully, we will have time to get to it this
time or next call.
