Is there any formal link between the 13606 Association and the actual standardisation process or is the "pre-SDO process" to be seen as traditional lobbying? Perhaps the best thing would be if the 13606 Association and openEHR could bring forward a unified co-authored suggestion to the SDO process rather than two suggestions? Perhaps we can use the new mailing list Thomas suggested for mail conversations combined with the wiki of the EN 13606 Association, instead of having separate mailing lists and separate wikis for the alignment discussions in each community? > Before that, to prepare a > draft starting point, during January a consultation will be made to key > actors, implementers and users of the standard, including openEHR. A great thing would be to actually have at least two independent _implementations_ of change suggestions (both AM and RM) after initial discussions but before any revisions to the standard are made. That is how some other SDOs work with technical artefacts and it could avoid some of the previous suboptimal approaches. I assume AOM 1.5 is a candidate for AM? Is anybody already working on an AOM 1.5 implementation in addition to Tom's Eiffel version? Are there people interested in updating the Java implementation (or some other implementation) before or during the SDO process? Regarding the RM I know Tom is experimenting with simplified ITEM_STRUCTURE as a BMM-schema for the AWB. Are there any other RM-redesign experiments going on anywhere? What is happening in the 13606-world regarding thoughts about practical datatypes? What about (optional) reusable ENTRY subtypes in the 13606 world? (see http://www.openehr.org/mailarchives/openehr-technical/msg05285.html under the heading "2. OBSERVATION et. al. (ISO 13606 CR)") > As you know, my opinion is that an harmonisation or at least a seamless > transition between 13606 and openEHR is a key element to succeed. I totally agree. Bringing the communities tighter together is another important thing. The way some leaders sometimes talk of the other organisation's approaches might not be helpful in that sense. Those of you having formal powers in each organisation please ask your leaders to speak as honestly and nicely as possible of each others organisations/communities/approaches, or else please change leaders.
