Planned Outcomes

agreed plan to release RM 1.0.4
agreed plan to release ITS for RM 1.0.4
agreed plan to release AM 2.0
SM - APIs progress

Agenda Suggestions

Specifications Releases
- RM Release 1.0.4 to fix minor 1.0.3 bugs? - Thomas Beale
- AM 2.0 release - Thomas Beale
- ITS release strategy - Sebastian Iancu
  - does ITS continually accumulate mutually consistent sets of resources, e.g. XSDs, Java code etc etc? It should be the case that the ITS project has ITS for every other component that has something available at any time.
- ITS - specific discussion on XSDs
- RM Release 1.1 - move most of Common to BASE
- SM first release timetable
- status of UML tooling, extractor, documentation approach, global UML site to replace broken MD one?
GDL & ADL rules
- GDL UML models need to be converted to MagicDraw - then can use class extraction documentation approach.
- need to rationalise AOM2 rules and GDL rules.
SM & REST APIs - Former user (Deleted)
- Algorithm for converting archetype paths => URIs for REST - Thomas Beale
ADL2 - IM/RC/TB
- adoption pathway for industry
- open tooling project; multi-vendor collaboration; possible funding; Maybe also Google Summer of Code https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/ (org application deadline Feb 19)
- How should the openEHR community organize the development of the needed tools for clinical modelling?
TDS3 - wiki dev page
- we need a formal specification - where does it live?
- TDD => canonical converter specification
How to formalize AQL
- Proposed syntax for AQL syntax for status of INSTRUCTION/ACTIVITY
- Proposed syntax to allow AQL querying across links/ references (possibly relates to item above)

Actions

Vagrant

Create list of instructions for vagrant provisioning script for documentation / publishing env. Sebastian to build and test.

MagicDraw

Do a test to see if MD XMI includes all model content including diagrams.

Do a test to transfer full model to another tool.

GDL

ROng - send TB XMI of GDL model.

Publishing / Workflow

Asciidoc or other generic small types - use a 'collector' CR on each release e.g. 'Correct Asciidoc syntax errors' - e.g. SPECPUB JIRA project.

Signficant CR-driven changes:

agree on private fork + change + pull request + merge

Changes is done one personal fork
Pull request is sent to main repository
Owner of that specification Git repo will do the merge
Each commit must be assigned with a prefix for the JIRA item (e.g. SPECRM-35)

UML changes - discuss/agree in JIRA, then component owner does or delegates UML changes to one person - avoid competing UML model changes.

Review workflow options - e.g. external reviewers:

Component owner does
- AsciidoctorFX export to ODT
- generate HTML in the normal Asciidoctor way
reviewer uses e.g. OpenOffice to markup - comments & changes, then returns to owner who then processes manually.

Git branch philosophy

option #1 - single master
option #2 - master = dev branch; create interim branches on demand if need to apply selected later commits at an earlier point.

ITS strategy

Per-component ITS-RM, ITS-AM, etc Git repos with file structures like:

ITS-RM repo:

tag point: 1.0.2
- CHANGELOG.txt
- xml
  - xsd
tag point: 1.0.3
- CHANGELOG.txt
- xml
  - xsd
    - 6 files
  - xslt
tag point: 1.0.4
- CHANGELOG.txt
- doc
  - sdfsdfdf
- xml
  - xsd
    - 6 files
  - schematron
    - 2 files
  - xslt
    - xxx
  - examples
    - xxxx
- json
  - xxx

Each repo would use same tags as SPECIFICATION-xx repos, e.g. 'Release-1.0.3'.

To add updates to an earlier release, e.g. fix 1.0.2 XSD bug, or add JSON schema to 1.0.2, then do a branch off the relevant tag point and use tags like 'Release-1.0.3-R2' etc.

Can also add secondary 'bundle-based' tags e.g. '2016.3', '2017.6' etc.

Manually maintained CHANGELOG.txt file in root - enables consumers to easily find out what has changed.

Long term release?

Additionally, a 'whole of system' ITS repo containing e.g. whole of system documentation, packaging scripts etc.

Conformance

Release naming: use e.g. openEHR-2016.3?

Question: how to connect conformance resources/test plans etc to ITS artifacts.

Idea of 'conformance to openEHR-2016.3'...

AQL functions

Generic need for 'functions' in AQL / extension mechanism

Need to show how to define RM-independent functions e.g. math functions,

Then need ability to define RM-specific functions e.g. instruction-aggregate-state() , etc see pres from Bjørn Næss

Functions defined as:

instruction-aggregate-state(instruction_identifier)
- Returns the aggregated state of the given INSTRUCTION as a String
current-state(activity_identifier)
- Returns the current state of the given ACTIVITY as a String

Some examples:

SELECT i
FROM INSTRUCTION i
WHERE instruction-aggregate-state(i) = 'ACTIVE'

SELECT ac
FROM INSTRUCTION i CONTAINS ACTIVITY ac
WHERE current-state(ac) = 'ACTIVE'

Latter would be specified .... where?

Implementation guidance for AQL service implementers

also consider 'service view' of functions, i.e. REST access as well as AQL access.

Demographics

Need to represent 'function' i.e. 'position' concept as well as 'role'.

In Code24 system all 'relations' are PARTY_RELATIONSHIPs

What is the appropriate way to model 'legitimate relationship' i.e. current carers.

Types of real world 'role'

what am I?: a GP, oncologist etc, by professional formation / training / certification
- PERSON.roles → ROLE 'GP', defined by capabilities
who do I work for?: employment relation with an organisation, in a specific kind of post/function
- PARTY_RELATIONSHIP between PERSON (who has ROLE GP) and employing ORGANISATION
who do I work with? Team / department level working.
- PARTY_RELATIONSHIP between employment ROLE and other ROLEs or a GROUP
who do I care for?: relationship from carers to patient i.e. the legitimate relationship
- this has to be a PARTY_RELATIONSHIP between employment-based ROLE and 'patient' ROLE of PERSON

What about generic roles? These are like job posts.

Is a patient PERSON in a 'patient' ROLE?

Other problem: medical secretary / other staff doing direct entry into EHR instead of doc at busy times.

Identifiers - where should they be modelled? Currently inside PARTY.details ITEM_STRUCTURE, but this is dependent on knowing archetype paths. Possible suggestion (Sebastian Iancu) - add PARTY.identifiers: PARTY_IDENTIFIER, where PARTY_IDENTIFIER would have a DV_IDENTIFIER, time_validity, ?validated/checked optional attribute.

check with Heath Frankel (Unlicensed) on Ocean way of doing this.

Various possibilities:

Erik Sundvall: extend the scope of PARTY.identities to cover externally assigned ids as well as names
Thomas Beale: maybe it't better to make identities (names) and external identifiers distinct
Bjørn Næss: just use PARTY.identities and use the PARTY_IDENTITY.type to distinguish between 'name' and 'ssn' etc

Consider adding ROLE.type to indicate type of role: professional capability | employment position | employer responsibility |

Rules/GDL/AOM

simplify AOM2 rules down to simple expressions only
move core generic expression tree model / syntax? to BASE
sync GDL with BASE model, also AUTHORED_RESOURCE
move GDL to AOM2 (when?)

ADL2 Adoption pathway

Agree on OPT1.4 support in ADL2 tooling as main enabling condition.

Impact areas:

AQL queries
AQL queries built on the fly in code
AQL engine
Generated User interfaces (e.g. JSON precursor artefacts for UI generated from OPT).
.oet templates need a converter

Consider discussing value of specialisation in archetypes w.r.t. querying etc with clinical modelling group(s).
