This is the RIMBAA agenda for the May 2012 WGM in Vancouver, CA

Tuesday Q6 (Tooling / RIMBAA)

Thursday Q1

MongoDB / NoSQL based implementation of FHIR (Ewout and Graham)
- Ewout: Storing FHIR resources, indeed just like SMIRFs, seems like a natural fit for this kind of databases. Of course, XML databases like eXist, are an equally good match for the same reasons. Some of my SMIRF experimentation used eXist. For now, I used MongoDb because it is offered by AppHarbor (the Cloud platform I am deploying to).
using the FHIR data types as a persistence model for ISO data types (Grahame)

Administrative agenda items
- Agenda Review/Additions/Changes
  - Plans for the week. Interesting meetings held by other WGs, e.g. FHIR
- Approval of the minutes of the meeting in San Antonio

- Announcements
- Tooling liason update (Michael)
- Update of the RIMBAA three year plan. RIMBAA was given a 'penalty point' in the WG Health stats for not updating the three year plan within the last 10 months. This serves as a reminder to review and update the current three year plan.
