    • FHIM will continue to be published as a separate set of models from CIMI.
    • It may be that FHIM could become an HL7 activity in the future.
    • In the short to medium term, FHIM will remain an isosemantic model to CIMI for the parts where the two models overlap, and it would support bi-directional mappings.
    • Longer term view, the two models would converge into one where the two models overlap.
    • Both groups are committed to making the models isosemantic for the area of overlap, with bi-directional transformations. When all of the work has been done to make the models isosemantic for all areas of overlap, that essentially constitutes convergence, and then the models can be published in whatever form best suits the CIMI or FHIM constituencies.
    • Should consider converging UML modeling tools.
  • Need to formally approve the licensing for CIMI models and terminology. David Booth suggests Creative Commons, CC-0.
    • We have previously agreed to use the Apache 2 license. We will keep the previous decision.
  • Proposals for additional principles:
    • The proof of the architecture is in the results. Architects may apply principles as needed, but if the architecture has to contain inconsistencies in order to deliver clinically correct archetypes, that is appropriate.
      • Corollary: Use the architecture to make models and test the architecture by making the content that we need. The architecture does not need to be perfect before we make models and try them out in implementations.
    • It is strategically important to assign stable and unambiguous concept identifiers to coded elements in CIMI resources. It will also be important to ensure that these concepts are modeled appropriately to support logical classification, but this requirement can be deferred, and should not hold up CIMI development.
      • Models and model elements will have unique identifiers that can be used for creating relationships in an ontology. However, the complete positioning of the models in the ontology should not hold up CIMI development.
    • While CIMI does not need to ensure the correctness of the SNOMED CT graph, we do need to lay the foundations to support accurate logical classification in the future. [This general principle should form the requirement underpinning specific proposals for semantic model alignment, e.g. Evaluation Result.]
    • It is okay to declare an attribute in the parent class and refine its semantics in downstream classes if the semantic restrictions represent subsets of the ancestor attribute's domain. The children should be created by restrictions on the range and domain of attributes in the parent. Attributes that are specific to the child only would just be added in the child. (Example: specializations of devices.)
      • We previously agreed that the semantic binding of the attribute (i.e. device, or body location) would be carried from parent to child, but the attributes could be renamed using the binding capabilities of ADL. Tooling can leverage the common binding to know that the name in the child is related to the name in the parent to know that “dispense device” is a device.
    • We make the assumption (requirement?) that implementation platforms have the responsibility to provide a direct path for retrieval of IndividualClinicalStatements regardless of what panel or panels contain them. The logical model provides enough information to support this behavior in the implementation. (The logical model can be different from the implementation.)
  • Continue ballot reconciliation - All
  • Review outline of Jay’s SCT paper

  • Graph/STAMP modeling paradigm – Richard
  • Planned work for September ballot
    • Models for lab data and regeneration of leaf node models (Stan, Joey, Galen Patrick, Susan, Katy Holck (pub health, lab), Donna Redley RN informaticist). See 2015 Models.opencimi.org as baseline
      • Work needs to be done to improve the quality (value sets)

        • e.g., fetus.heart
      • Start with highest volume and most used data elements
