RE: Propose an HL7 work group on RDF for Semantic Interoperability?

One suggestion would be to organize this around some concrete use cases – as we have done in the past around the COI Task Force.

Some examples which come to mind would be:

-       Clinical Decision Support at the point of care

-       Clinical Analytics and Risk Stratification

-       Leveraging EMR Data for Clinical Trials.

 

Hope this helps,

David,

  I'm excited about the prospect, but I think the work group may be a bit too broad without further refinement. I'd like to see a charter articulated with a more specific focus, and identifying milestones that deliver concrete outcomes (specifications, implementations, reports) around targeted areas of urgent need. 

 More importantly, I'd like to know what the uptake will be (e.g. who will implement this), and how plans on using it.

 

Cheers,

 

m.

I was at the HL7 meetings last week, and the idea arose of proposing an HL7 work group on RDF for Semantic Interoperability.  I took the initiative to draft a possible charter.  I meant to send it out earlier in case folks would like to discuss the idea on our 11:00am Eastern HCLS call today.  Attached is what I've drafted.  I'll join the call and see if anyone wants to discuss it.  Sorry for the late notice.
