Six Core Architectural Features

We discussed Six Core Architecture Features. The discussion rambled but there seemed to be consensus on three key points:

1. As listed, the features are "ok" for a techie elevator talk
2. The features need to be extended to include an over-arching schema and references or bindings to existing technical architectures (e.g. Zachmann) See e-mail from Blobel
3. This list must open with its relationship to HL7's product strategy and mission -- paraphrased as "to do whats needed for interoperability" (E-mail from Lorenzi will be used to update the six-features page)

Communications strategy

Dropped for lack of time, but was added to Core challenges
