Hi Ignacio,

Thanks for your reply.

Hmmm, I'm not sure what you mean by this. ????

Well, you probably should explain this better if you present it to the
public.

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.

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?

Cheers,
Tim
