I have set up a CAMSS wiki page <https://openehr.atlassian.net/wiki/display/stds/CAMSS+Assessment+of+openEHR>, Silje if you can copy the relevant CAMSS boilerplate in (assessment table etc) and make it look vaguely presentable (make child pages if you need) then I am sure the community can get it populated quickly for you, since it's clearly of general benefit.

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.

Hi Silje,

I had a look at the website - it doesn't seem as if anyone is using CAMSS much, if we believe this page, which contains CAMSS assessments <https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/community/camss/og_page/camss-assessments>, none of which are health related. 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.
