   • Updates from Tony.

Minutes

1. Action Items

• Tony: Request administrative privileges to update GForge.
  • Mike to approve once request has been submitted
• Mike: Will check with VA terminologists about whether LOINC clinical object codes have been linked to SNOMED-CT

PASS Audit Update

No update today, but this ballot is now open. Please sign up to vote.

Security & Privacy Ontology Project

1. LOINC to RBAC discussion:
   • This discussion related to examining the LOINC objects to determine which map to HL7 permission catalog and how they would map to SNOMED CT.
   • The purpose is to determine how we will use the ontology to link a different ontology (a bridge ontologies—which we may use or SNOMED CT directly)
   • Question: Is this a new ontology vs. an update to the current ontology?
     • Yes, we wouldn’t’ necessary put these items in the RBAC catalog directly — instead we should be able to map these terms to the various linkages, e.g., to SNOMED-CT.
   • The premise is that the relationship to SNOMED-CT has been harmonized to LOINC. Mike will check with the VA terminologies to confirm this assumption.

Tony has posted the first draft of the Security-Privacy Ontology expressed in OWL 2 and suitable for viewing with the Protégé 4.1 OWL Editor.

• In addition, for those who are not using Protégé, there is a Word document with screen shots and other information.
  • Corresponding wiki entries will be made after Tony Weida obtains proper wiki access.
  • Tony will pass along files to Serafina and Suzanne until he is able to post on GForge.
  • Tony will make a request to join the HL7 Security GForge space. Mike can then approve the addition.
