Hi Thomas, thanks for your reply! I don't have any say in which assessment criteria are used, unfortunately. I've seen your criteria, and agree they're more specifically applicable to e-health standards.
I'll probably need a lot of help answering and justifying the CAMSS questions, especially those regarding the governance of the specifications. I hope it's okay if I pose specific questions to this list.

On this page <https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/community/camss/og_page/list-standards> there is a much larger list of 'recommended' standards which are all generic (PDF, GIF and so on) - I don't know what use this is. This page <https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/community/camss/wiki/camss-05-detailed-camss-criteria> has a long page of assessment criteria, which seem mostly reasonable to me, but are will probably miss what I would consider the most important criterion for value - longevity. I personally think longevity is ultimately based on semantic scalability (lack of other things will also kill it, like lack of community, implementations etc). See here <http://wolandscat.net/health-informatics/desiderata-for-successful-e-health-standards/> for my set of criteria. I also don't think that compatibility with other standards is necessarily a useful criterion - it depends on whether those other standards are in use and are themselves delivering value or just getting in the way. But overall the assessment tool seems OK. What I can't see is any example of where it has been applied to an e-health standard. - thomas On 04/01/2016 12:42, Bakke, Silje Ljosland wrote: Hi guys, As part of a standards assessment project initiated by the Norwegian Directorate of Health, several health IT standards will be assessed using CAMSS (https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/node/66790). Have anyone done a CAMSS assessment of the openEHR specifications? If so, would it be possible to share the results?
