Minutes

Minutes/Conclusions Reached:

• Roll Call & Agenda Review conducted
• Approval of previous minutes from 2012-04-26 Tooling Call - Andy moves approval and Lynn seconds - unanimously approved, 2012-05-31 Tooling Call - Andy moves approval and Lynn seconds - approved 4/0/1 (Pech), and from WGM (see draft minutes) - missing Monday Q3 minutes; postpone to next week.
• Review action items - action items part of another project we should close, meaning Trackers 1992 (part of Strategy), 1997 and 2097 (part of communication plan), and 2212 and 2213 coordination action items on their respective projects
  • Andy has no update on 1453
  • Woody has no update on 1998
  • Josh not on the call for his tracker
  • from WGM:
    • Andy will follow up with Grahame on the IP of the FHIR tool chain as well as the publishing dependencies. Andy thinks it will be open source, Jane notes the IP for the resources will be HL7 but what are the dependencies on tooling for our publishing stream. Andy notes that FHIR will be balloted like V2, all at once as a comprehensive standard. Everything will be generated as a series of HTML pages to be packaged and put up on the ballot site but other publication forms will be available. Woody thinks the tooling will be open source maybe even outside HL7. He feels FHIR is its own tooling project independent of other work groups at this time. Its objective is to be self-contained. Jane's concern is that she's been asked to include it in the Tooling strategy. Woody thinks any funding requests will be not specific to tools but to the FHIR product. Jane suggests we discontinue this action item. Jane will tackle the IP question under the Tooling Strategy.
    • Justin will send email to find out about how HL7 can offer post-graduate certifications - partner with Mohawk or other universities to offer credit. Lynn will create to-do tracker.
• Update on V3 Generator Status (Woody) no further activity since Vancouver.
• Comments received on HingX PSS - no comments have been received. Templates and Publishing have approved participation. Andy moves approval of the project, and Woody seconds. Update the WG approval date and forward to Steering Division.
• Sort order configuration in GForge issue tracker - See FHIR Resource Request- Woody / Lloyd - either it will be handled a different way or we need a customization request to GForge. Woody notes that it is the display order, not really a sort order. The form puts important elements at the bottom. They are going to use wiki categories instead to manage it. Close this item.
• Update on Tooling Challenge - OMG involvement, next steps
  • Current plan is to announce Tooling Challenge at the Plenary. OMG has been recommended by the sponsor to actively participate on the panel. Karen is reaching out to Ken Rubin (OMG Liaison) to have someone to review the UML profile. If it becomes an annual challenge, Sparx is willing to fund the award each year. Woody asks about a static model reviewed by OMG is overly simple. Jane is working with Karen on the announcement, legalese being worked out between HL7 and Sparx on the announcement.
• Review projects:

  Tooling-sponsored Projects

  • PI# 831 EHR-S FM Profiling Tool - current state is EHR producing RFP to contracts list to obtain resources for projects. Process steps are outlined on Tooling Strategy and Process Revision wiki page. Process has tentatively received John Quinn's approval. This process formalizes the premise that funding would offer preference to subsidize those already doing work rather than commissioning work.
  • PI# 803 Tooling DashBoard - still on hold until TSC and ES determines format they wish to see, and subsequent to Tooling Strategy acceptance
  • PI# 802 Tooling Communication Plan and Execution - needs resourcing, exercise new funding process - Jane hopes to have those ready for next week.
  • PI# 801 Tooling Strategy and Process Revision - needs resourcing, exercise new funding process - Jane hopes to have those ready for next week.
  • PI# 742 Model Automated Exchange (MAX) for UML Models, AMS has requirements document and has solicited help; he's now on the call and has received two responses already.
  • PI# 665 MIF based Publishing Phase II; this is mostly generator and transforms work and Woody is handling this under his Publishing lead contract.

  Tooling co-sponsored projects

  • PI# 885 HL7 Templates ITS Pilot (Tooling co-sponsor), Andy is working on gap analysis with Trifolia, importing rules. Still need to contact MDHT, making good progress in this phase. Jane asks if they anticipate a request for funding; Andy doesn't think so yet.
  • PI# 752 Publish CDA IGs from Tooling (Tooling co-sponsor); this is supposed to be on hold. They're not looking further into integrating in the publishing tool chain. Better to focus resources elsewhere for the moment. Andy will take message back to Structured Docs to put the project on hold.
  • PI# 611 Template Registry Pilot (Tooling co-sponsor) we have requested that they close the project; it's currently on hold. Its functions are replaced with the OHT HingX project.
• Other/New Business
  • At WGM we identified that on upcoming call we need to go though the actual steps for developers to get funded; reviewing the steps with AMS re: MAX. He will reach out to EHR to determine if there is any synergy. He suggests funding as a program, where there are multiple projects under an umbrella; Jane has discussed funding can be assigned to a project with subprojects.
  • AMS may be bringing a proposal next week.
• Adjourned 10:56 AM EDT

Meeting Outcomes

Actions Lynn will Update the WG approval date and forward HingX PSS to Steering Division Lynn will create to-do in GForge for Justin to find out about how HL7 can offer post-graduate certifications - partner with Mohawk or other universities to offer credit. Andy will take message back to Structured Docs to put the PI# 752 on hold.
