And certainly, a technology with no implementation is of little use, and a
standard that is difficult or impossible to implement is a poor standard.
Greg:
For those who went through the M standardization from 1973-199, they know
that that those questions were always part of the two way dialog. While
your concern is relevant, it does not happen in an active consensus
dialog. To not work at consensus because some may try to avoid these
questions is just not responsible, nor is it realistic becuase avaoidance
is just inaction. Look forward to the productive exchange of ideas, if you
havent done it. Thats the way you'll understand my point. It transforms
people as well as technology and will help rid you of your fears.

The issue of "implementation language" is part of the "Enterprise View,
Life Cycle Principles" perspective on the whole VistA architecture. The
Open Source character of the effort and the model base for the architecture
being tied to the VA makes constraints. Since the open value utilizes, for
the present, the VA's design it must accept the present VA model until a
Common Data Model for the Conceptual Content has been arrived at and then
discussions about a different design for implementation of the common model
can be entertained. There is latitude in different configurations for the
same architecture (different terminologies value set, and referential data
for different enterprises) for differing business purposes. All of this is
in the realm of "implementation" but does involve some common agreements on
components of the physical architecture that keep the technical
configurations relatively limited. THat can all be managed by Life Cycle
Principles and Processes (consider the Capability Maturity Model Discipline
from the CMU-SEI VA study). An information architecture as complex as VistA
needs a discipline. Principles and Procedures can be applied to a M
environment as well as other environments and is relevant to all aspects.
