      • #2520 Josh to Update the EA license management process document. We were to discuss this week but Josh is not available. Josh drafted a de facto licensing process. Tooling members please review for discussion
    • Develop Tooling update Article for newsletter on a bi-monthly basis (every other month) like the interim release of PBS Metrics. Woody needs some help getting it written. First article can be the challenges of the 64 bit RMIM designer.
      • Woody adds we have a lot of software that's very old, using an old technology base. People need to be aware as vendors chip away at the foundation.
      • Can also talk about new development. Might also talk about frailty of artifacts moving between RSA and EA.
    • Tooling Challenge:
      • Need to clarify anticipated questions for the format of entry, use of toolingchallenge list.
      • Need to set the timing and presenters etc for the presentation of the award winner at the plenary.
      • Sent email to all participants to inform them they should be subscribed to the toolingchallenge list as questions and answers should be directed there. Interest poll for webinar yielded only two respondents (both interested). Suggest holding a GTM and call Monday at 4 PM.

Discussion topics:

  • Motion: Woody moves to have Tooling Work Group formally adopt the MIF 2.1.7 and MIF 2.2.1 releases.
    • From email:
      1. Complete specifications of MIF 2.1.7 and MIF 2.2.1 have been re-posted with a "Proposed" status on Gforge at: http://gforge.hl7.org/gf/project/mif-schemas/frs/
      2. Transforms to Convert "MIF" instances between the various releases are being rewritten and retested. They insert 2.1.7 between 2.1.6 and 2.2.0, and add 2.2.1 at the top. These transforms were based on the series in the Canadian Generator, but have been integrated into and will be re-published in both V3 Generator Release 3.4.10 and v3PublishingTools Release 2.1.7-3.4.10
      3. A revised, specific list of changes is [http://lists.hl7.org/read/attachment/233674/2/MifChangeSummary.txt attached as a text file
    • Discussion
      • Converted transforms from old generator to Canadian generator for all steps above 2.1.3
      • Andy would like to see two files for the changelog to attach to 2.1.7 and 2.2.1 separately for the releases.
      • Brian seconds the motion to approve
      • Wilfred asks about a 2.1.7 release on GForge - was it released? There's a multiversion release of 2.1.6/2.1.7/2.2.1. - there was not a separate release for 2.7.1. Woody updated the flag at the package level to be public.
      • There was an EPL version in the last release for that was not generated this time. Andy thinks they may have been a misconception on our part to accommodate NHS. Different from the MIF-lite, the EPL are the schemas but the change to them is not certain. ACTION ITEM: Andy and Lynn will have to ask Lloyd what the rationale is.
      • Motion unanimously approved.
  • Update on profiling tool - they have completed the first release of the tool. MAX import/export, documentation,
    • Whether or not to jump into phase 2 on agenda next week. Can import old xml format and can import/export in MAX format for EHR, manipulate the FM within EA, produce artifacts from MAX models for ballot (HTML/PDF). MIF publishing would be a natural next step.
    • Discussion for ballot reconciliation in EA
    • Still don't have a contract from William; Andy will check if he sent it to John, to pass it on to Karen.
      • Andy will send a note when the deliverables are updated/posted.
  • Tooling article topics: September newsletter ideas by tomorrow, content by June 14th.
  • Review projects (Time permitting):
    Tooling-sponsored Projects

Scribe left at 3:04 PM

Meeting Outcomes

Actions
  • Andy and Lynn will have to ask Lloyd what the rationale is for generating the EPL version.
  • Andy needs to provide AMS with the additional requirements identified in the profile designer project
