FYI, here are the comments that Conor Dowling, Michel Dumontier, Claude
Nanjo, Rafael Richards and I submitted today to the ONC on the ONC's
draft roadmap[1] for healthcare interoperability:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KPP5hiXCHsDovEd_68JjTHzlPEP3sLDzzMV6bzEt-Ok/edit
Thanks especially to Kerstin Forsberg, Harold Solbrig and others in the
HL7 and W3C groups for early discussions and help on this --
particularly the need for stable URIs.
I wish we could have included other peoples' names as co-submitters, but
we finished the draft only 10 minutes before the submission deadline --
alas, with a couple of typos remaining -- and I did not feel comfortable
adding anyone's name without permission. So the best we could do was to
sign it ourselves as members of the Yosemite Project Steering Committee.
P.S. Direct editing of the document has now been disabled, but you can
add comments. Please do! The ONC will not see them (unless they happen
to read this list), because the submitted version was a snapshot that
was downloaded in PDF. However, your comments will be helpful for
future use.
Thanks!
David Booth
