Re: Clinical documents metadata

Hi Tim,

Completely agree with your criticism about the lack of controlled vocabularies in the actual proposal, but in someways that is a technical detail.

What I found interesting was the argument for all mandatory fields to enable the use case that they were supporting, viz search.

Interesting.  But kind of 1990's all over again.  Metadata
requirements are generalized and very well defined for electronic
documentation.  Dr. Benson doesn't specify any type of controlled
vocabulary nor even a datatype for any item except date/time.

Dublin Core is well accepted and used throughout the emerging semantic
web.  It is one of the reason that, in 2009, we adopted it for them
use in the Multi-Level Healthcare Information Modelling project. Our
success has been based on re-use of existing tools and technologies in
place of re-inventing everything.

Hi All,


This is an interesting blog post about metadata requirements for clinical
documents.

I particularly like the distinction of use cases at the start which motivate
the metadata requirements that are identified.
