Tim Ocean Informatics is working in two key activities.
1. Tom is working on the finalisation of the V1 specification and the development of the open source Java kernel at CHIME(UCL) in London, working with a group in Sweden. The DSTC RecordPoint product (J2EE on SQL database as I understand it) announced yesterday may merge with this work in the future if appropriate - we will have to see where this goes. The DSTC are spinning off a commercial company to provide services in this area. 2. Ocean have a growing team here in Australia building a .Net proprietary openEHR EHR Service (Called EhrBank!). We are starting out at the NSW Cancer Registry working with Vince McCauley from McCauley Software as part of an ITOL grant and have some other potential customers for this product. The archetype repository is coming on - a first glimpse is available at: http://www.dualitysystems.com.au/archetypefinder/archetypefinder We and the DSTC, are ready for project based work in this area, either separately or together as suits customers, to get things moving. Happy to talk you, as I am sure are the DSTC, about any ideas that you have.
