Yosemite Project for Healthcare Information Interoperability: Join us!

Starting Friday 03-Jul-2015 at 1pm Eastern US, we will hold a weekly 
teleconference for anyone interested in contributing to the Yosemite 
Project.

The Yosemite Project[1] is a collaborative effort to achieve semantic 
interoperability of all structured healthcare information, using RDF as 
a universal information representation.  It is a follow-up to the 
Yosemite Manifesto[2], which identified RDF as the "best available 
candidate" for this purpose.

Although for several years there have been -- and continue to be -- many 
individual activities that apply RDF to healthcare, the Yosemite Project 
articulates an ambitious, overarching roadmap[3] that frames these 
activities within a common vision, goal and strategy.  The roadmap is 
based on three main principles:
   * Standardize the standards
   * Crowdsource translations
   * Incentivize

The purpose of the weekly teleconference is to coordinate activities in 
support of this mission, such as roadmap refinement, standards 
activities, webinar planning, outreach and technical demonstrations.

Anyone interested in contributing to this effort is invited to attend. 
All attendees are expected to have at least reviewed our 2014 roadmap 
overview slides[4] and the recorded webinar[3].

We will also be kicking off a new webinar series on Thursday 
09-Jul-2015, beginning with an updated overview of the Yosemite Project 
roadmap[5].  Other webinars will follow.

Thanks,
David Booth
For the Yosemite Project Steering Committee[7]
