...
- Entry level openEHR - getting started is too hard for newcomers
- Deal with licensing FUD - better address wrong perceptions about openEHR licences, which are all in fact either Apache 2 or Creative Commons
- Support for localisation, affiliate groups
- Restarting specifications release work
- Better tooling - the existing modelling tools are showing their age and need comprehensive renewal
Key presentations
- Thomas Beale provided a brief scene-setting introduction, based on the concept of 'investible standards' from a recent blog post.
- Ian McNicoll presented on 'working with the Foundation', which led to a lively discussion on the need for clearer governance of the foundation, including clearer membership rules and statutes (by-laws).
- Gunnar Klein
- Heather Leslie and Ian McNicoll presented the 'industry sprint', a funded archetype development activity to create 69 published archetypes on a short time frame in 2014/2015.
- Ian McNicoll presented on the UK HANDI-HOPD [NEED LINK], an openEHR-based health apps demonstration and learning space backed by the NHS.
- Rong and Iago presented on Guideline Definition Language (GDL), an ADL-like language for representing guidelines that Cambio has implemented.
- A brainstorm on conformance specification and methods was undertaken.
- Marand presented on IHE and FHIR.
- A brainstorm on the openEHR web presence was undertaken.
- Various people provided country updates for openEHR activity.
Agreements and actions
- The industry partners present endorsed the archetype industry sprint
- A next generation Java archetype tooling project will be commenced.
- A technical group will develop an outline architecture and project proposal in the next 3 weeks.
- The project will be open source, and be open to developers from any organisation using archetypes.
- Specifications:
- review specifications governance - Thomas Beale, Erik Sundvall, Gunnar Klein
- GDL and AQL will become formal specifications
- rename ADL 1.5 to ADL 2.0 and develop a plan for creating 'interior versions'
- all existing specifications will be converted to a new text-based form and publishing toolchain; new specifications will be developed in the new format;
- Asciidoc proposed as candidate - Bostjan Lah, Borut Fabjan, Thomas Beale to research and provide a proposal
- specifications work will start as soon as the new openEHR.org server is up and running, and may commence with a simplified change process, by common consent of committer group.
- Conformance
- a technical group will get together and develop a conformance approach based on the brainstorm:
- Borut Fabjan, Bostjan Lah (Marand), DIPS, Rong (Cambio), Code24, Thomas Beale (Ocean)
- Infrastructure and website
- the industry partners will fund new hosting and related infrastructure ASAP
- a web committee self-nominated to manage the web presence, including incorporating the numerous suggestions from the brainstorm: Jon Tysdahl, Silje Ljosland Bakke, Shinji Kobayashi, Gunnar Klein, Martin van der Meer, Vebjørn Arntzen, Luis Marco, Adriana Danilakova
- Governance
- It was agreed that we seek to work with the board on a clearer set of organisational rules and governance procedures, reflecting increased influence of members, particularly industry partners, and the need for a 'lighter touch' management.
- All governance-related material, including statutes/by-laws should be publicly available on the web.
- Investigate if it is possible and better to incorporate the Foundation as a self-standing international organisation, with no specific link to any large owning organisation, as is the case with UCL currently.
- Gunnar Klein volunteered to research possible organisational improvements.
