Well, you probably should explain this better if you present it to the public. > While I > have invited public input such as yours, the vote is only open to AMIA > os-wg members. See above. Of course I still have a rant about AMIA. When I founded the OSWG I wanted at the very least the mailing list to be open to the public. That would have opened up AMIA to a broader community. However, the leadership there seems to remain isolated in their actions and thinking. I still have hope that you and others will be able to change that eventually. > With regard to OpenEHR 13606, how would you like it to > appear in the paper? -- IV Well, IMHO, openEHR is a better engineered version of 13606. While I have a deep respect for you personally, I see it as very telling about the mindset in the US about real information models in healthcare. This mindset is certainly one of the reasons why I no longer reside/work in the US. As far as the way I would like to see them appear appear in the paper is FAR beyond the capability of an email. BTW: I found your comment in the paper about VistA being a "de-facto standard" to be quite disconcerting. Where is this model published? Where are their engineering specs? Being a software engineer yourself, I continue to wonder how you support this model and yet do not embrace and support openEHR?
