*
Update from the Content subteam
o
The content workgroup has agreed upon 10 PDDIs to include:
https://goo.gl/rYpmjt
+
These cover the following information aspects:
#
can (and should) be contextualized for specific patients
or clinical circumstances,
#
applies at the class level, does not apply at the class
level,
#
the mechanism is known and is pharmacokinetic, the
mechanism is known and is pharmacodynamic
+
More forthcoming...
o
Decision trees useful for contextualizing the PDDIs, provide
management options, and linking to relevant evidence will be
created for all of them
+
Done already for 2 of the 10 now included
*
Toward writing an Interest Group Note
o
Rich re-organized the initial draft note to focus on
introduction and background with stakeholder descriptions, use
cases, and user scenarios
+
An github project and initial draft:
#
GitHub project: https://github.com/W3C-HCLS/w3c-ddi
#
Example draft : http://goo.gl/7ZaE94
o
Rich created google docs that we will write in and then the
editors will migrate the content into the W3C note format
+
These are linked to from the http://goo.gl/7ZaE94 and also
listed here:

*
Progress on definitions
o
Discussion of stakeholders
+
Rich has pulled this into two google docs in the format of
user profile and scenarios for discussion by the sub-team
with the goal of finalizing by the next call
#
Stakeholder Descriptions
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AbWuONYTrFOV95OhjlRwrm3ZJy5jjvzJ-dywO5OZyFY/edit#>and
DDI Minimum Information Model User Scenarios
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HE8r8nmJBHRrtbE6YrNfK00Ztkev44-dNk-Rm6MP92U/edit>
*
He will send a request to complete a qualtrics
survey eliciting feedback on each user scenario
o
We agreed as a team to use the following process for moving the
current suggested definitions
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dhUp496riwZ0AHqRP7I85oEvuP2jjEI0rcw1Fcm2zI8/edit#gid=0>to
final definitions as follows:
+
For a given information category (e.g., clinical
consequences) Rich will summarize the currently suggested
candidate definitions
#
Including any references to the terminologies or
publications where they came from
#
He will also show examples of the definitions from the
contextualizing decision trees created for the included
interactions
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DIeIuo7tZ6nVvd6MdO2xzzLtOSPXjAHI-DdBe9M3kiw/edit>
+
Rich will create a qualtrics survey for each summary to
elicit agreement on a final proposed definition
#
This process likely be iterative
*
Knowledge representation goal for the model
o
We reviewed Knowledge Representation Core Considerations
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/14saXL4qhusPHxxN1Aymc5z_u7vH3j3V-YF9TKNjRxLQ/edit>
which
is meant to suggest the scope of formalization for the minimum
information model
+
It was agreed that we need to define what we mean by
information model and convert those notes to a couple of
concise paragraphs that declare the scope of formalization
for the model and how definitions will be created, accepted,
and revised (if needed).
#
Mathias Brochhausen will lead a sub-team this month to
finalize these decisions and develop this write up
*
Oya, Oliver, Daniela & Ratnesh, and Øystein
volunteered to participate
o
Invitations will go out to others who could not
attend the call
*
Next steps
o
All will complete doodles to schedule new meetings for the next
few months
o
A sub-team led by Mathias B. will develop a statement that
clarifies the scope of formalization for the minimum
information model and process for creating/accepting/revising
definitions
o
We will implement the process process for
creating/accepting/revising definitions
