RIMBAA 200909 WGM Minutes
Revision as of 20:21, 22 September 2009 by Rene spronk (talk | contribs)
Minutes of Tuesday Q4 
- Attendees:
- xxx
- Rene calls the meeting to order at 15:33
- Rene/peter briefly present the RIMBAA technology matrix
- Presentation by Dave Carlson and John Timm.
- Aim was to do model refinement in UML, serialize in schema, or back-out and generate MIF (required for publishing).
- Templates can't yet be transformed back to MIF. Rik Smithies notes that templates can be expressed as RIM models and hence as MIF.
- Model driven framework for generating run time API, with clone names, with one or more templates validated, consume XML instances that deserialize into appropriate template.
- UML-OCL template model (by standards creator, expressed as a UML Profile, annotations in EMF to express OCL constraints), transform to code generation model (EMF), code generation to create Runtime API in Java (inclusive of the OCL constraints), produce/consume/validate CDA instances.
- Template model: is-a and has-a relationships between templates, given that one template (LIM, e.g. specialization of an IHE template) is a specialization of another template (LIM, e.g. IHE template) is a specialization of a RIM-derived model (CIM).
- John: generalizing this to all CIMs is definitely possible.
- Link to the software: mdht.projects.openhealthtools.org
- Link to the presentation: mdht.projects.openhealthtools.org
- Aim was to do model refinement in UML, serialize in schema, or back-out and generate MIF (required for publishing).
- Mapping data in legacy databases to RIM Based Models (max. 45 minutes). Given the amount of legacy databases a way has to be found to encapsulate those datbases in a layer which provides the programmer with a virtual RIM based API - inclusive of object based querying using RIM terms.
- Presentation by Robert Worden about a semantic mapping tool he's been working on. Focus of the presentation will be om the mapping between legacy ER databases and RIM Based models.
- The tool is primarily oriented towards message mappings (the AO-CS, and AO-CP and AS-CO cell-transitions in the technology matrix); it can however also be used to map legacy database structures to RIM based models (AP to CO/RO mapping).
- Presentation by Robert Worden about a semantic mapping tool he's been working on. Focus of the presentation will be om the mapping between legacy ER databases and RIM Based models.
- RIMBAA Issues/talking points
- Report from ITS WG on a RIM based ITS, and on the New ITS.
- Issues on Wiki: Category:RIMBAA Issue
- Discuss impact of proposed RIM changes to RIMBAA, e.g. negationInd, datatypes R2
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

- Announcement of European meeting, see Agenda for Amsterdam RIMBAA meeting Oct. 27th
- Motion to designate the Oct. 27th meeting in Amsterdam as an out-of-cycle meeting of the RIMBAA WG (Andy/Peter, 6-0-0).
- Action item for Rene: notify HL7 HQ of this decision.(done, 20090921)
- Discussion of the goals of the RIMBAA WG:
- Marketing - Public exposure of successes (of v3 implementability and the RIM itself)
- 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?)
- Outreach to RIMBAA implementers (especially those not present at RIMBAA meetings); publish reviews of existing RIMBAA implementations
- Education - for newbies to RIMBAA
- Standard Improvement
- Identify issues in HL7 standards during the implementation process
- 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
- Discussion of the RIMBAA delivarables. Motion to approve the following two projects (Andy/Peter, 6-0-0)
- A set of harmonized whitepapers that detail the things one needs to be aware about when creating a RIMBAA implementation. Initial whitepaper: "ORM Approaches".
- Reference Implementation(s). Documentation of the reference implementation and the design process associated with these applications.
- Action item for Peter/Rene: create project statements for these projects and bring those to the steering division for approval.
- Motion to adjourn (Peter/Amnon, 6-0-0) at 17:07
