Starting Friday 03-Jul-2015 at 1pm Eastern US, we will hold a weekly
teleconference for anyone interested in contributing to the Yosemite
Project.
The Yosemite Project[1] is a collaborative effort to achieve semantic
interoperability of all structured healthcare information, using RDF as
a universal information representation. It is a follow-up to the
Yosemite Manifesto[2], which identified RDF as the "best available
candidate" for this purpose.
Although for several years there have been -- and continue to be -- many
individual activities that apply RDF to healthcare, the Yosemite Project
articulates an ambitious, overarching roadmap[3] that frames these
activities within a common vision, goal and strategy. The roadmap is
based on three main principles:
* Standardize the standards
* Crowdsource translations
* Incentivize
The purpose of the weekly teleconference is to coordinate activities in
support of this mission, such as roadmap refinement, standards
activities, webinar planning, outreach and technical demonstrations.
Anyone interested in contributing to this effort is invited to attend.
All attendees are expected to have at least reviewed our 2014 roadmap
overview slides[4] and the recorded webinar[3].
We will also be kicking off a new webinar series on Thursday
09-Jul-2015, beginning with an updated overview of the Yosemite Project
roadmap[5]. Other webinars will follow.

Thanks,
David Booth
For the Yosemite Project Steering Committee[7]
