On yesterday's teleconference Claude Nanjo reviewed the FHIR ontology approach that he developed: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/10QQaOTuLxwqdPVW4sWncSiSRNhqNrpn3RAbdmPmrihs/edit#slide=id.p4 . One of the main discussion points was about how to model FHIR's modifying extensions, which have the ability to change the semantics of the immediately enclosing element and any elements or attributes enclosed by that element, thus potentially leading to non-monotonic semantics. (This is issue #1 on the group's issue list.) Lloyd McKenzie and others discussed some possible approaches for modeling them in RDF that would still ensure monotonic semantics. Next week we plan to spend the first half of the teleconference finishing the review of independent FHIR ontology approaches, with a review of Cecil Lynch's FHIR ontology work. In the second half we plan to discuss requirements for a converged FHIR ontology. We have started collecting requirements ideas at http://wiki.hl7.org/index.php?title=FHIR_Ontology_Requirements The plan for FHIR ontology development after next week is to hold some break-out calls for digging into individual technical details, to enable other work to be discussed on the main teleconference. The break-out group will summarize its progress with the main group. The log of yesterday's teleconference is available at http://www.w3.org/2014/12/09-hcls-minutes.html Thanks! David Booth
