Re: FHIR Ontology from Cecil Lynch

Hi Kingsley,

Good idea.

But FYI, the reason Cecil presented his ontology was to allow us to 
compare and contrast the various approaches that different individuals 
have taken toward developing a FHIR ontology.  (Others were presented 
previously.)  The joint HL7-W3C group on RDF for Semantic Interoperability
http://wiki.hl7.org/index.php?title=RDF_for_Semantic_Interoperability
is working to converge on an ontology that could be adopted as a 
standard by the HL7 FHIR work group.  As such, it is only an input to 
our process rather than a final result (though Cecil may well use it 
himself as currently is).

Best wishes,
David
