= EXECUTIVE SUMMARY =
== CIMI Goal ==
“To provide a common format for detailed specifications for the
representation of health information content so that
semantically interoperable information may be created and
shared in health records, messages, and documents.”

== CIMI UML Profile Goal ==
“To provide an ecosystem of tools that underpin and support
CIMI activities through the use of an open source approach and
adopted standards.”

= CIM UML PROFILE GUIDING PRINCIPLES =
* Represent the semantics of CIMI while being agnostic of its structural representation
* Leverage standards and standards-based tools
* Reduce complexity and lower the barrier for entry
* Facilitate reuse of CIMI models and schemas
* Embrace accepted UML modeling styles and constructs
* Enable use of CIMI models for use with other standards, technologies and layers
* Support deterministic mapping to and from the CIMI technology layers based on CIMI rules

== Principles ==
* '''Clarity''': Ensure that a UML representation of a CIMI model produced by one developer can be accurately interpreted by another.
* '''Completeness''': Ensure that a developer can produce a UML representation of any CIMI concept
* '''Practicality''': A developer can employ the profile in current UML development tools to develop a CIMI model

= VALUE PROPOSITION =
* Provides a clear, consistent means of designing models
* Can be implemented by tool vendors
* Separates clinical modeling concepts from specific solutioning
* Enables creation of open source solutions

= STRATEGY =
* Create a collection of layered, complementary profiles that work together to support CIMI
* Accommodate specific implementations by extending and transforming unforeseen platform specific solutions
* Use transformation techniques to generate horizontal (ex. AOM ), vertically (ex. XSD, JSON)from reference models, and the reverse
