1 CDA Overview

• Editor -

1.1 What is the CDA

• Editor -
  • Does any of the text associated with the 6 document characteristics need to be made? Lisa will follow up with Kalvin, Keith, Bob to see if they have anything from the tutorials.

1.1.1 Key aspects of the CDA

• The thirds bullet that talks about expressiveness and flexibility of R2 needs to be revised slightly to indicate that R3 is introducing additional flexibility where R2 was found limiting in some cases.

1.1.2 Scope of the CDA

• Need add some text outlining the expanded scope of participation in the header as well as the expansion of the right hand side entries to include more or less the entire RIM.

1.1.3 Goals and Design Principles

• These goals and design prinicipals should be reviewed on the main SDWG call to verify what if any changes should be made.

1.2 General CDA Concepts

• Editor -

1.2.1 Major Components of a CDA Document

• Editor - Amnon
• Note - This is probably where we need to discuss the implications of splitting semantics from rendering as that change has a major impact on the overall structure of CDA.

1.2.2 The "A" in "CDA"

• Need to add a sentence that CDA R3 hasn't really changed the approach to CDA "levels" that was used in CDA R2.
• One note that if we go down the split semantics from rendering path that we can no longer assume that a level 3 CDA has level 2 sections. That will need to be made explicit as opposed to being implicit as it is today.

1.2.3 Human Readability and Rendering CDA Documents

• Needs to be updated to talk about CDA R3 instead of CDA R2)
• Need to take a look at the last bullet to see if R2 really accomplished this and what if any change needs to be made in R3 to allow indicating how narrative was derived from structured content.
  • "When narrative is derived from structured content, there must be a mechanism to identify the process by which narrative was generated from structured data."
• Also need to add a discussion about responsibilities of creators of documents regarding what ends up as machine readable vs. human readable.
