Excellent!

Certainly the intent is to make use of existing models -- HL7 and 
others.  In particular, to:

  - Capture *existing* and new models -- whatever they are -- in RDF and 
OWL so that they have a common semantic basis, and relationships between 
them can then be captured in RDF and OWL.

  - Promote standards convergence of those models -- to reduce or 
eliminate redundancy -- using RDF and OWL as a common semantic basis for 
expressing them.

  - Facilitate crowd-sourcing of data translations for instance data 
express in different data models and vocabularies, by using RDF as a 
common information representation.
