WEBINAR: Comparing the Yosemite Project and ONC Roadmaps for Healthcare Information Interoperability

Speaker: David Booth, PhD, Yosemite Project Steering Committee
1:00pm EDT (Eastern US) Thursday April 2, 2015

The Yosemite Project announced a roadmap for healthcare information 
interoperability at the Semantic Technology and Business Conference in 
August 2014, based on RDF as a universal information representation. 
Shortly thereafter the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) 
announced its own draft interoperability roadmap and has invited public 
comments (due April 3, 2015).  The goal of both roadmaps is to achieve 
interoperability of electronic healthcare information, but the focus and 
scope are different.  The ONC roadmap is broader and less technical; the 
Yosemite Project roadmap is more ambitious.

This webinar compares these two roadmaps -- showing how they coincide, 
differ and complement each other -- and makes recommendations for 
strengthening the ONC roadmap.  Webinar participants are also invited to 
share feedback and suggestions on how these roadmaps can be improved. 
Suggestions will be incorporated into a group comment that will be 
submitted to the ONC by members of the HL7 ITS subgroup on "RDF for 
Semantic Interoperability", the W3C interest group on "Semantic Web for 
Healthcare and Life Sciences" and others interested in the Yosemite 
Project mission.
