Agenda
SAIF Artifact Definition - REVITALIZE the process
Discussion
Started with question of whether to choose to advance only a sub-set of the artifacts in the face of low adoption of "universal" messaging artifacts plus the needs of FHIR.
Suggest that the Information Model artifact definitions are usable in both contexts, although, in future, the requirement for creating RMIMs may be limited.
Simultaneously, there are clearly new artifacts and governance required to support FHIR.
What is role of behavioral/transactional models in FHIR??? Not immediately.

Ballot Planning
RIM R5
- R4 passed balloting in only 1 cycle
- Number of changes this year will be small - primarily structural vocabulary
- In this next release, a bunch of deprecated elements will be dropped
- Will need to manage how this will affect publication for NE2013
Motion: Woody authorized to submit paperwork to initiate RIM R5 ballot Lloyd/Rik: 4/0/0
Core Principles R2 (when & what)
- R1 is finished with one negative outstanding
- Carry-overs from last time:
- Behavioral models (still don't have this)
- Negation indicators: List them all and how they should be used
- isDocumentCharacteristic: what does it mean/how does it work
- Can we do a full release or an Annex?
Motion: MnM authorizes Woody to prepare PSS and submissions to enable balloting of Core Principles R2, limited to the addition of documentation on negation indicators and isDocumentationCharacteristic.
Lloyd/Rik: 4/0/0
Data Types R2+
- Looked at list of Data Type R3 issues
- Consider doing a 2.1
- We can bring any vocab changes other than null flavor forward into datatypes
- We want people to identify what additional changes they want and how "urgent" a given change is.
- Woody will update the page to be numbered and define a list of priorities from "blocking implementation" to "nice to have". When that's done, Lloyd will craft a small blurb for the HL7 Newsletter and send an e-mail to co-chairs list, MnM list, RIMBAA list, INM list and CGIT list

Agenda
Two Hot Topics
Role Class "Ontological"
Issue, coming from Vocabulary, problem found when attempting to satisfy Role relationships (found in context of common product model). Julie Glover brought forward a detailed analysis of the RoleClass hierarchy with the concern focusing on _RoleClassOntological.
The existing structure had a number of definition issues - SAME and SUBY appeared to be saying the same thing, yet were siblings, and generic is also tied into the definition of SAME.
After much discussion asked to see a harmonization proposal for March that restructures the hierarchy as:
ROL
- _RoleClassAssociative
- _RoleClassOntological
- EQUIV (functionally equivalent entity)
- SAME (with changes to make the fact that representations differ, but there is only one real-world thing that they represent)
- SUBY (subsumed by) Modify the definition to make it clear that the original definition was to replace a record, and perhaps alter the print name to be "????"
- GRIC
- SAME (with changes to make the fact that representations differ, but there is only one real-world thing that they represent)
- GEN
- INST
- EQUIV (functionally equivalent entity)
Harmonization Proposal for QueryParameter.semanticsText attribute
Jean Duteau presented a revision of his parameterItem proposal related to this. The group critiqued it and encouraged him to submit the revision.
