Remembering our Vision…

What Is Needed to Create a New Paradigm?
• Standard set of detailed clinical data
models coupled with…
• Standard coded terminology
• Standard API’s (Application Programmer
Interfaces) for healthcare related services
• Open sharing of models, coded terms,
and API’s
• Sharing of decision logic and applications

Issues: RefsetEditor doesn’t actually (directly) create RF2 Content!
RefsetEditor takes RF2 Tables as input
Still a tad on the buggy side but…
(Both issues are fixable but will take time)

Mechanisms of Interchange
• Direct SQL Queries
• CTS2 or other API’s
• Delta import and export
• Complete file import and export
IM Tooling
Proposal
(Shorter Term)
• Terminology “model” and backing store is
enhanced RF2
• Exchange can be one of:
– Direct update to RF2 data base (trusted apps)
– RF2 Delta Imports (and Exports)
– CTS2 Update Packages
• Multiple authoring tools can be used depending
on environment
• Authoring tools are responsible for
synchronization w/ backing store
– May involve scripting and work in some cases
Proposal
(Shorter Term)
• Clients may
– Access SQL tables directly
• We may augment with Lucene and other helpers
– Use CTS2 API
– Use any other API that works against backing store
Possible Enhancement?

Snow Owl
• B2i could provide:
– Terminology server to meet the REST and web
browsing requirement and export CIMI data
– Second server to support collaborative authoring
& issue tracking
– Snow Owl authoring license restricted to CIMI’s
namespace, and
– Support and maintenance for the above.
Topic 2
Information Modeling
• Logical Model Designer (Snow Owl) and/or
– Subset of AOM (LOM) w/ additional constructs
– Serialization Ecore Classes (LOM XMI file)
• Need LOM transformation tools
• MDHT UML tooling and/or
– Needs significant work to produce ADL 1.5
• Ocean ADL workbench and/or
– Needs significant work to edit ADL 1.5
• Excel + duct-tape and/or
• Mindmaps + duct-tape and/or
• Others?
• Set of “big ticket” (must have) requirements
for modeling tools in order to get started
• Separate the capabilities of the tools from the
underlying storage formats
Topic 2
Information Modeling
• Question: Can we take an approach similar to
that proposed for Terminology?
