RIMBAA 200909 WGM Minutes

Monday Q4

Meeting Room: Georgia 7

• Approval of agenda for the week
• Approval of the minutes of the January 2009 WGM RIMBAA_200901_WGM_Minutes. The WG didn't meet in Kyoto.
• Review and approve RIMBAA SWOT
• Review RIMBAA in the HL7 Roadmap

• Agree upon the future goals of the RIMBAA WG: (draft)
  1. Marketing - Public exposure of successes (of v3 implementability and the RIM itself)
  2. Sharing of experiences and solutions
     • Document/describe (for all possible cell transitions) how those steps could be supported/achieved.
     • We focus on Patterns for Application Development. Guidance, no normative outcomes.
     • Reference Implementation (Java SIG materials, extend OHT?)
  3. Education - for newbies to RIMBAA
  4. Standard Improvement
     • Work with ITS WG on an RS XML ITS and the identification of CS-RS transition issues
     • Identify issues caused by the ‘interoperability mindset’ of the RIM
     • V3 constructs: Context Conduction, Update Mode, Object Versioning
     • Work on SAEAF Platform-Specific_-_Engineering

Tuesday Q4

Meeting Room: Atlanta 1

• Processing/validating RIM Based Models. One of the main problems to tackle, whether for messaging/documents or in memory objects structures in RIMBAA, is the testing of validity of constraint models, which includes evruthing from a CIM, a LIM or a DCM, with GELLO/OCL. In a RIMBAA environment one would normally do code generation from the MIF/EMF to tackle this.
  • Presentation of an EMF driven Template/OCL code generator by Dave Carlson and John Timm (IBM Research)
    • The tool has the prime intent to facilitate the use of CDA templates. It is part of the OHT efforts on the Eclipse platform. Focus of the RIMBAA presentation will be on the code generation aspect.
    • It will show the use of EMF code generation with OCL constraints, from UML models. Although the example models are CDA restrictions, most of the principles should apply to RIM restriction also. They are very interested in generalizing their approach for RIM and v3 messages, and also for DCM.
    • A longer presentation of the tool will be held in a meeting of the Structured Documents WG on Monday Q3, and the Tooling WG during Tuesday Q2.
• RIMBAA Issues/talking points
  • Report from ITS WG on a RIM based ITS, and on the New ITS.
  • Issues on Wiki: Category:RIMBAA Issue
  • work on a RIMBAA slide deck (use the this file as a starter?). Note: "Save As" .pptx, not as a .zip.
  • impact of proposed RIM changes to RIMBAA, e.g. negationInd

Tuesday Q6 (19:00-21:00)

• Tooling demonstration (hosted by the tooling committee)
  • With a slot for a presentation on RIMBAA tooling (no opportunity for discussions)
  • ItalTBS (Andrea Ceiner et.al.) will present new features of their toolkit
