Garcia

Meeting:
*
Introductions
*
Update from the Content sub-team meeting
o
Selecting drugs: Goal is to choose interesting drugs that will
be the focus of developing decision trees
o
Connecting clinical consequences, evidence, etc.
o
More than halfway done in terms of information categories
o
Information category discussion: importance in identifying gaps
in knowledge
+
Frequency of exposure, adverse events: needs clarification
+
Mechanism not known: discussion about relevance
o
Some decision trees have been created
o
Will also be getting engaged with stakeholder descriptions
*
Discussing progress on stakeholder descriptions
o
Drug Compendium Editor
+
Discussion: ”editor” or “editorial process” is fitting, but
multiple different roles are present
+
Diversity of potential user stories; e.g., clinical experts,
medical librarians, people who do the publishing/design end,
knowledge engineering and database and structuring end
o
Action Items
+
Instead of Drug Compendium Editor: rename to “Drug
Information Editorial Board”
+
Add a user story about search from the perspective of a
Librarian: focusing on synthesis of information
+
Add a user story about Clinical Knowledge Engineer: bridge
between the clinical information and how that gets represented
*
User-Centered Definitions
o
“Clinical consequences” Qualtrics sent out
o
Comments under review; follow-up pending
*
Scope of Ontology Development and Related Efforts
o
Oya and Michael discussed minimum information model including
MIAME and what has been done in other domains
+
MIAME <http://fged.org/projects/miame/>and mimics are
minimum information models;MAGE-ML
<https://db.systemsbiology.net/projects/external/mage/>
#
Minimal model of what’s required to be in the document,
without specifying what needs to be in the model
#
1 – what you must include (in English)
*
Using the MAGE object model (XML DTD), someone could
include all of the information needed
#
2 – providing a way of actually encoding and exchanging it
*
Java and PURL could take the information and
represent it
o
W3C interest note
<http://dbmi-icode-01.dbmi.pitt.edu/dikb-evidence/w3c-ddi/index.html>as
PDDI’s corollary to MIAME, describing the elements of the model
+
Introductory document with user stories, clinical descriptions
+
The clinical definitions may change as we go through the process
+
Creating deliverables – object model that makes it clear how
to include the concept set of what to capture about drugs
#
W3C note as more human-readable description
+
Knowledge Representation Core Considerations:
#
Participation from sub-group (Matthias, Michal, Oya)
#
Organizing into a document form that will be how we
build things moving forward
o
Balancing the need for vocabularies/ontologies with the use of
free text
+
Model may be used by developers who develop clinical
decision support systems; requirements for natural language
processing if free text is used
+
Meetings so far have developed scope and definitions,
evolving toward schema development
o
Computable components of info model
+
Essential elements = 8 categories, more or less
#
User-centered definitions, ontology definitions
#
Do not want to restrict the way that drug concepts and
health info concepts are represented
#
Just need to code a drug (clinical drug level, or
ingredient level, with formulation, rather than just at
class level)
#
No current opportunity to structure alerts this way
*
Next Steps
o
Qualtrics survey: Clinical roles stakeholder descriptions and
user stories
+
Will be sent before Memorial Day weekend
+
1-2 more surveys before the next Standards sub-team meeting
o
Discuss Asiyah’s email to the group
o
Knowledge Representation Core Considerations (Matthias, Oya,
Michael)
+
Oya and Michael will work on edits
o
All team meeting
+
Use case: Medication reconciliation (another team)
+
Will proceed to schedule and see if we can coordinate with them
