Peer Review

Ron Parker: Documents with exception of GF are done. Jane needs to push GF.

Jane Curry: Having problems getting consistent answers, will have by monday.

Ron Parker: There will be a lot of dialog on this topic. We need to get it out the door. My other problem is barely keeping my head above water. I need help getting the announcemen/notice put out. I presumed I would push to FTSD list, and push to general HL7.

Lynn Laakso: I can help with that Ron.

Ron Parker: Would like to do so this afternoon. This creates a problem - only 4 weeks to review. I need help on how to action that. We need to give four weeks.

Charlie Mead: Are you asking what we will do?

Ron Parker: We will not have time before the WGM to disposition the comments - and push back to commenters. We will have issues to discuss.

Charlie Mead: In the best of all worlds we need a finite period, then organize and disposition. Could we have a productive round based on the first two weeks.

Ron Parker: We should be prepared to dedicate 30 minutes on each call to the responses. We ask for speedy delivery of comments. Lets say that. No question - it is hard to say what the comments will be.

Jane Curry: TSC is meeting as well.

Ron Parker: We will divide and conquer. Tony - see if we can find a place to meet. We have time on Sunday to discuss the peer review - will determine on Sunday.

Ron Parker: We will go with what we have, and push the GF when it is done.

Karen Smith's Questions

Ron Parker:the WI document shows that SAIF is application of a framework. What we say is that set of specifications can be incorporated by other organizations - rather than roll there own. We have provided a framework - which allows WI with other enterprises. Purple boxes are not necessarily organizational.

Charlie Mead: My comment - the first graphic is confusing, but starts to make sense with the explanation. Purple boxes look like subsets, instead of enterprises - obscures the stairway to heaven. WI always requires work to secure interoperability. It also obscures the cloud picture.I think I understand the WI graphic. It is more specific than the cloud.

Ron Parker: It says that others may interoperate.

Charlie Mead: The simplified Triptic does help the pink/blue one to be more understandable.

Scott Robertson: I think I understand the coloring now, exists in a range of flavors, and defines interoperability. I think it works well.

Ron Parker: Triptyc should be in intro/executive overview. A lot of people are not operating in the model - how do we participate with the complex entities.

Charlie Mead: Cloud diagram depicts that. SAIF says that if you get to the bottom of the stairway-to-heaven you are ready to talk. It says nothing to enterprise - it is helpful go adopt SAIF to get one grammer.

Ron Parker: SAIF has a framework from which we generate WI specifications. Because the WI specs are created within the SAIF framework, you have understanding.

Greg Peres: Missing the lifecycle of feedback to SAIF.

Jane Curry: One of the themes in the governance framework.

Greg Peres: The problem with the simple diagram is that it does not show the lifecycle.

Ron Parker: We need to resolve it, simplify, not overly complicate, to allow the un-initiated to understand. My challenge is that it is difficult for one picture to solve all the nuances. I need feedback on the interitive nature - allows refinement.

Jane Curry: In simple put arrow from Interoperable products to SAIF with text 'Learns from'.

Ron Parker: Charlie?

Charlie Mead: Missing a couple of things. The iterative nature, and the simplicity of the cloud.Do we push it out and see if there are complaints. I am sending Ron a picture.

Tony Julian: We need to get it out

Charlie Mead: I agree -there is nothing wrong with that.

Ron Parker: EAS design does not belong in overview.

Cecil Lynch: CDAR3 shold be under Instances. What we are trying to get to is when any system takes a clump of data and writes to the database, they have to persist it somewhere - only if the application understands the model, and can query it out. The instances need to be produced semantically consistent. CDAR2 is not semantic with V3 - datatypes are constrained. What SAIF give you is extending it out to enterprise of any size. CDAR3 in instances.

Ron Parker: Will incorporate into graphic.

Soa Ontology

MMS to approve the Soa Ontology Scope Statement (Cecil/Charlie Mead) (8-0-0)

Cecil Lynch: We spent time with Security to align with SAIF, and less tie to implementations, and constrain the scope. What Ken Rubin did, looking at the traffic on the other ontologies, re-wrote this. Similar to Security and privacy, to create a taxonomy to classify SOA artifacts, and define business use cases.

Charlie Mead: Will communicate to TSC.

Lynn Laakso: Should we re-circulate to co-chairs for comment before TSC votes?

Charlie Mead: If reduced or clarified does it have to go back?

Lynn Laakso: If a scope is changed, it gets re-circulated. Puts it out another week.

Cecil Lynch: Which co-chairs does it go to?

Lynn Laakso: It goes to entire co-chairs as well as international.

Ron Parker: That means it goes on the agenda for the 26th.

UPDATE: 

Per e-mail from Lynn Laakso 201004151148 "To all parties of interest in the Health Interoperability Service Ontology project: Contrary to what I said in the ArB conference call today, I have already sent out the updated version of this document to the co-chairs and international admin lists, and so it has been added to the agenda to come for a vote at the TSC on Monday the 19th (it does not have to wait until the 26th). It is being tracked on the TSC Issues list at # 1435 - see http://gforge.hl7.org/gf/project/tsc/tracker/?action=TrackerItemEdit&tracker_item_id=1435."
