Announcements

• RH - cts2.org currently redirects to apelon.com. This is being reworked to be more inclusive. One item being considered is a launcher page that would provide links to the various cts 2 activities such as the NOrmative work in HL7, the OMG PIM, implementation guides, the development framework, etc. What other options should we consider for the cts2.org page?

CTS 2 Voting Rules

• By default I believe we adopt the Vocabulary WG calls. We will unlikely have 2 chairs on CTS 2 calls.
• (RH) Propose voting rules of one Vocabulary chair and three participants for binding votes.
  • Aknowledged and agreed by all three members
  • Russ will follow up with HL7 on how we make this official.

Work Items Review

• (AE) Functional requirement is not implemented in the PIM
  • Verify with PIM authors on weather we are correct or not.
  • Then what?
    • Exclude the requirement all together?
    • Add a section of the document that talks to why each requirement was not included in the PIM
    • Discuss the use of CTS 2 within the broader context of a terminology enabled application
• Ana has began making corrections to the Word version of the DSTU.

What Should CTS 2N Look Like

This is a discussion on what the end goal of CTS 2N should be. What should the end product look like? What should it include/not include. What should the normative CTS 2 look to accomplish.

• What functionalities do I require as an implementer to say I am CTS 2 compliant?
  • This speaks the need for a HL7 CTS 2 conformance profile.
• CTS 2 should be aligned with HL7 core principles of vocabulary
• CTS 2 could include appendices outlining different implementation/representation choices for the SFM (OMG v PHAST)
• Should CTS 2N include or reference an HL7 Terminology Model (MIF)?
  • How to include model updates identified by PHAST
• Should CTS 2N provide rational to the decisions made in the PIM.

Action items for Next Week

1. Russ will follow up with HL7 on how we make voting rules official.
2. Ana will email to list the mapping spreadsheets
