- Governance deck is done, with Jane Curry to have the document ready in time for the Las Vegas OOC meeting. A 5TH document is in development, called examples, including the alpha projects and practical applications.
- Ken Rubin and Charlie Mead will present in Kyoto on HSSP. At the OHT meeting in Chicago this week they expect to formally adopt ECCF as their framework.
- First cut at populating the HL7 version of ECCF in process, aligning SAEAF with HDF. Challenge anticipated with identifying artifacts; where the HDF specifies artifacts, but needing guidance on how to publish these new artifacts? Ioana adds that as artifacts change the HDF will need to change too. Initial discussions regarding analysis artifacts; should they be required and how will they change? Adoption process needs to be developed (EA IP) McCay described how processes in HDF already adopted have existed a while, though elements in transition still exist. There are RCRIM elements still in conflict; rollout process still needs work. Not all projects do analysis artifacts, although this guidance exists. Those that have done DAMs have done so voluntarily. Need to determine whether analysis artifacts are required, and if so, what are they; then get to shared analysis. EA IP should describe the analysis or implementation artifacts and how different from HDF, and are they required. Then how to operationalize the artifacts; the TSC should discuss in Kyoto.
- Question was raised, Is there sufficient involvement with Tooling and Publishing with the EA IP project for these artifacts once they are defined. Will the ArB define how a DAM is published in Las Vegas?
- EA IP Update - Marc Koehn
- Affiliates Report – note from Ravi. In terms of updates we are looking for HL7 participants for the MIE 2009 at Sarajevo. I hope there would be some representation from HL7 Organization which I think would make the meeting valuable. I am also thinking of setting up conference calls for IA, which would increase the synergy within the affiliates and increase cross fertilization. Any other valuable suggestion from the TSC members is very welcome.
