Brief Summary

• Clinical Modelling Taskforce Update
• Tooling Update (e.g. XMI)
  • Plan: Test Enterprise Architect 9.3 for XMI import/export
  • Requirements: Michael to look at this week
• Datatypes Update
  • Tom, Grahame and Alan to continue
• Semantic links
  • Recommendation: To add the ability to define a semantic binding of each parent-child-node relationship within the archetype
  • Recommendation: To investigate further the requirement to add semantic bindings to the reference model (and therefore instances)
• Clinical Patterns
  • Recommendation: Clinical patterns are not included in the reference model, but are defined using archetypes. This enables the ability to define a library of clinical patterns, which can be further specialised into specific clinical models.
• Simplification of the Reference Model
  • Recommendation: To remove the attributes ENTRY.encoding and ENTRY.workflow_id, and add ENTRY.data to enable ENTRY to be a concrete class
• General
  • Reference model needs to be informed by clinical models
  • Suggestion: Arrange joint meeting between reference model and clinical model taskforce. Plus request a stream of representative models to test reference model.
• Isosemantic models
  • Recommendation: Include a compositional-grammar based expression language to define equivalence between isosemantic models
• Terminology
  • Recommendation: Include a compositional-grammar based expression language to defined terminology-based constraints on the model
• Demographics
  • Recommendation: The demographics model is reviewed and revised if necessary.
