Minutes

Minutes/Conclusions Reached:
Jane called the meeting to order at 10:04 AM

  • Roll Call & Agenda Review - no changes identified
  • Approval of previous minutes from
  • Review action items -
    • 1453 - no update from Andy
    • 1998 - no update from Woody
    • 2003 - Joshua reports he'll be looking into that next week
    • 2994 - Lynn just opened this week and emailed Justin Fyfe
  • Update on V3 Generator Tool [Woody] - it will be worked on this summer, next update in August
  • Review projects:
    Tooling-sponsored Projects
    • PI# 904 HL7/OHT Health Ingenuity Exchange Alpha Program Participation
      • Next T3SD call is June 25th, missed Steering Division approval on Monday. She continues to pursue this contract issue with the EC. Wiki page is HL7/OHT Collaboration on HingX. Do we need a GForge project? Could use it for tracking issues, requirements and enhancement requests. Jane is the sole conduit into the CollabNet tracking mechanism for HingX so she needs a collector mechanism to receive input from HL7 to pass along. She would be okay with a wiki page, linked from this page along with other wiki pages and documents.
    • PI# 831 EHR-S FM Profiling Tool
      • Outreach to EHR reps has had no response. Jane will continue to seek answer on readiness to move forward with next steps in the proposed process.
    • PI# 803 Tooling DashBoard
      • He'll be discussing the Tooling Dashboard at next ES session is Monday and they've had discussions with TSC on dashboards, and most dashboards will simply be a document that they put up. Jane notes there are potential two projects with Vocab, trialing NLM tool and the MIF mapping tool; there was discussion on the Tooling Dashboard with Vocab. Need to be able to show people which tooling projects are being undertaken. Education is also interested in a tutorial tracking tool. Project scope statement will be reviewed on 6/27 for development of requirements and conceptual design for tutorial tracking system. The conclusion of the project would feed a buy vs build decision. AMS will discuss with Education cochairs to add Tooling as cosponsor.
    • PI# 802 Tooling Communication Plan and Execution
      • Jane working this out with John Quinn and has suggestions.
    • PI# 801 Tooling Strategy and Process Revision
      • Jane working this out with John Quinn and has suggestions. Eclipse architect discussions have provoked thought. Lloyd and Grahame would like to see interoperability focus, an HL7 metamodel in Eclipse to satisfy SMD abilities. Woody notes that currently UML is our metamodel, MIF is the refinements. Tim notes that the Eclipse representation of EMF of core artifacts in RIM Vocab, Datatypes was created in ecore - it's a starting point. We have ecore models of the MIF on SVN right now. RIMBAA has been working on their own Java representation of the metamodel, notes Tim. Need a way to capture these divergent efforts to move forward in a concerted fashion. Jane pursuing focused conversation with GG, LM, and Eclipse architect. Invitation will go to the Tooling list if other attendees have interest.
    • PI# 742 Model Automated Exchange (MAX) for UML Models
      • AMS received three responses to help-wanted ad. He and John Ritter will discuss combining proposals. If solution architecture is Sparx EA we may expect assistance from them also. He'll report again next week. Question raised if we develop in .NET - Woody notes that we've accepted contributions in Microsoft platform but not our usual development platform. Moving away from Visio and Access. Rosetree COM started outside HL7. We want an open environment and .NET/Windows is not. Java runs across platforms. Joshua notes that there are .NET implementations across platforms now as well. Java is the preferred language. It's unlikely we'd fund development in .NET. Andy feels we shouldn't preclude .NET if we can bring resources to bear on the problem. AMS notes that the Tooling committee has not adopted an official platform; a clear preference is for Java but no rule against other languages (C#). A discussion on acceptable languages and platforms in terms of interoperability is needed for the Tooling Strategy. Content in tools that must be exchangeable between tools is the issue rather than the language or platform that a solution works on.
      • AMS will continue as Project Manager, Selima will be requirements documenter. Four candidates for architect/developer/testing positions.
    • PI# 665 MIF based Publishing Phase II
      • progressing but nothing to report today. Look at this again in August.
