    Update from the Content subteam

      o

        The content workgroup has agreed upon 10 PDDIs to include:
        https://goo.gl/rYpmjt

          +

            These cover the following information aspects:

              #

                can (and should) be contextualized for specific patients
                or clinical circumstances,

              #

                applies at the class level, does not apply at the class
                level,

              #

                the mechanism is known and is pharmacokinetic, the
                mechanism is known and is pharmacodynamic

          +

            More forthcoming...

      o

        Decision trees useful for contextualizing the PDDIs, provide
        management options, and linking to relevant evidence will be
        created for all of them

          +

            Done already for 2 of the 10 now included

    Toward writing an Interest Group Note

      o

        Rich re-organized the initial draft note to focus on
        introduction and background with stakeholder descriptions, use
        cases, and user scenarios

          +

            An github project and initial draft:

              #

                GitHub project: https://github.com/W3C-HCLS/w3c-ddi

              #

                Example draft : http://goo.gl/7ZaE94

      o

        Rich created google docs that we will write in and then the
        editors will migrate the content into the W3C note format

          +

            These are linked to from the http://goo.gl/7ZaE94 and also
            listed here:

    Progress on definitions

      o

        Discussion of stakeholders

          +

            Rich has pulled this into two google docs in the format of
            user profile and scenarios for discussion by the sub-team
            with the goal of finalizing by the next call

              #

                Stakeholder Descriptions
                <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AbWuONYTrFOV95OhjlRwrm3ZJy5jjvzJ-dywO5OZyFY/edit#>and

                <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HE8r8nmJBHRrtbE6YrNfK00Ztkev44-dNk-Rm6MP92U/edit>

                  *

                    He will send a request to complete a qualtrics
                    survey eliciting feedback on each user scenario

      o

        We agreed as a team to use the following process for moving the
        current suggested definitions
        <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dhUp496riwZ0AHqRP7I85oEvuP2jjEI0rcw1Fcm2zI8/edit#gid=0>to
        final definitions as follows:

          +

            For a given information category (e.g., clinical
            consequences) Rich will summarize the currently suggested
            candidate definitions

              #

                Including any references to the terminologies or
                publications where they came from

              #

                He will also show examples of the definitions from the
                contextualizing decision trees created for the included
                interactions
                <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DIeIuo7tZ6nVvd6MdO2xzzLtOSPXjAHI-DdBe9M3kiw/edit>

          +

            Rich will create a qualtrics survey for each summary to
            elicit agreement on a final proposed definition

              #

                This process likely be iterative

    Knowledge representation goal for the model

      o

        We reviewed Knowledge Representation Core Considerations
        <https://docs.google.com/document/d/14saXL4qhusPHxxN1Aymc5z_u7vH3j3V-YF9TKNjRxLQ/edit> which
        is meant to suggest the scope of formalization for the minimum
        information model

          +

            It was agreed that we need to define what we mean by
            information model and convert those notes to a couple of
            concise paragraphs that declare the scope of formalization
            for the model and how definitions will be created, accepted,
            and revised (if needed).

              #

                Mathias Brochhausen will lead a sub-team this month to
                finalize these decisions and develop this write up

                  *

                    Oya, Oliver, Daniela & Ratnesh, and Øystein
                    volunteered to participate

                      o

                        Invitations will go out to others who could not
                        attend the call

  *

    Next steps

      o

        All will complete doodles to schedule new meetings for the next
        few months

      o

        A sub-team led by Mathias B. will develop a statement that
        clarifies  the scope of formalization for the minimum
        information model and process for creating/accepting/revising
        definitions

      o

        We will implement the process process for
        creating/accepting/revising definitions
